Abstract:
The authors present their experience in detecting volume and echostructure alterations of the ovary in 14,525 women examined echographically and clinically. They analyzed 499 adnexal tumors and observed after clinical follow-up and echography that 60.6% of the cystic-septa tumors had involuted spontaneously. Percentage of spontaneous resolution was higher in small-diameter tumors, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
