Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of struma ovarii. Findings on an ultrasound are suggestive of struma ovarii occurred more frequently (68.8%) in the right adnexa and was seen with a normal CA-125 level.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of struma ovarii. Findings on an ultrasound are suggestive of struma ovarii occurred more frequently (68.8%) in the right adnexa and was seen with a normal CA-125 level. [1]
- Doppler sonography flow study can help in the preoperative diagnosis of struma ovarii. In struma ovarii the blood flow signals are detected from the center of the echoic lesion. [1]
Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of struma ovarii include:
- Transvaginal ultrasound shows solid and cystic components of the ovary and also calcifications. [2]
- Abdomen ultrasound image helps demonstrate solid and cystic portions arising from the ovary. [2]
