Rationale:
Ultrasound features of lobulated ovaries are rarely described in the literature. Here, we report a case of pathologically proven lobulated ovaries.
Patient Concerns:
A 22-year-old female with irregular menstrual cycles for 9 years came to our hospital because of endless menstruation and anemia for 1 month.
Diagnoses:
Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed pelvic masses. But diagnosing or excluding neoplasms based on imaging findings was difficult.
Interventions:
The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy. Some nodules in the right adnexal region were removed, and a left ovarian biopsy was performed.
Outcomes:
Pathology results revealed nodular ovarian tissue with cortical fibrosis, but no tumor cells.
Lessons:
Our case demonstrates ultrasound manifestations of lobulated ovaries and the importance of being acquainted with these features.
