14.A20-year-oldfemalepresentswithaleftadnexalmass.Basedontheimagesprovided,whichofthe
followingismostconcerningformalignancy?
A.Largelesionsize B.Presenceofbloodflow C.Absenceofpapillaryexcrescences D.Presenceofsolidcomponents
AnswersandExplanations
1a.  AnswerC. Images of theleft ovary show a rounded mass with low-level homogeneousinternal
echoes,increased through transmission, and lack of vascular flow. Thesefindingsare characteristic of endometrioma.Endometriomas occur in females of menstrualageas a result of growthof endometrial tissuewithintheovaries. The tissueundergoes repeated cyclical hemorrhage and forms cystic lesions containingdegeneratedbloodproducts.Thesonographicappearanceofendometriomascanbevariable, althoughapproximately50% ofendometriomas appearas unilocular cystscontaininglow-levelinternal echoes. Other variations include multiloculated, mixed solid cystic, and, rarely, anechoic cystic morphologies. Although a cystic lesion containing homogeneous low-level echoes is the classic appearanceofanendometrioma,thisappearancecanoverlapwiththatofahemorrhagiccyst.Therefore,a 6-to12-weekfollow-upultrasoundissuggestedwhenencounteringalesionwiththesecharacteristicsfor
thefirsttimeinapatientofmenstrualagetoallowfortheexpectedevolutionofahemorrhagiccyst.
Ahemorrhagiccyst(choiceA)isusuallyacomplexcysticmasswithalace-likeorreticularpatternof internalechoesduetointerdigitatingfibrinstrandsorasolid-appearingareawithconcavemarginsandno internal flow on Doppler ultrasound due to a retracting clot within the cyst.A mature cystic teratoma (dermoid) (choice B) usually contains hyperechoic components, lines and dots, and area of acoustic shadowing, with no internal flow at color Doppler sonography. Tuboovarian abscess (choice D) is commonlyseenasamultilocularcomplexadnexalmasswithinternalechoesandseptations.
1b.  Answer D.  Although the diagnosis of endometriosis is suspected based on the history, signs,
symptoms,physicalexamfindings,andimagingtests,laparoscopyisconsideredthegoldstandardforthe diagnosisofendometriosis.
1c.  Answer C.  Endometrioid carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm arising from
endometriosisfollowedbyclearcellcarcinoma.
1d.AnswerD.Gastrointestinaltractinvolvementisseenin5%to37%ofpatientswithendometriosis.
Therectosigmoidcolonisthemostcommonlyinvolvedsitefollowedbythesmallbowel,thececum,and theappendix,inorderofdecreasingfrequency.

2a.AnswerC.Theimagesshowtwoendometrialcavitieswith separation,whichextendsthroughthe
lower uterinesegment andcervix.Themain differential is between septate, bicornuate, anddidelphys uterine anomalies. The 3D coronal image shows a single fundal contour, which extends above the interostial line.This key imaging feature excludesboth bicornuateand didelphys anomalies, which are associatedwith a fundal cleft>1 cm. Arcuateuterus would be associatedwith a singleuterine cavity. DES(in utero diethylstilbestrol exposure)uterineanomalies are associatedwith anatrophic, T-shaped uterinecavity.
2b.  Answer C.  In certain cases, surgical resection of the fibrous septation can improve obstetrical
outcomes. Unicornuate, didelphys, and bicornuate uterus are associated withrenal anomalies. Arcuate uterine configuration is considered a normal anatomic variant that has no effect on fertility and is not associatedwithrenal anomalies. Patients with DES uterus are at increased riskfor vaginal clear cell carcinoma.

3.AnswerC.Bothovariescontainmultiplesmallfolliclesthatlineupalongtheperipheryoftheovary,
theso-calledstringofpearlssign.Also,theovarianstromaisprominentandechogenic.Thisappearance, along with the provided clinical history, is most consistent with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOSisanendocrinedisordercharacterizedbyhyperandrogenismandanovulation/oligoovulationdueto highlevelsofluteinizinghormone(LH)andlowlevelsoffollicle-stimulatinghormone(FSH).Clinically, womenpresentwithinfertility,hirsutism,obesity,acne,andinsulinresistance.
Ovarian torsion (choice A) is not the best choice because although there are multiple peripheral folliclesasisoftenseenintorsionbothovarieslookfairlysymmetric.Patientswithtorsionpresentwith painandanenlargedovaryontheaffectedside.Intorsion,theovarianechotextureisoftenheterogeneous, differentfromthiscasewheretheechotextureishomogeneous.
Hyperstimulated ovaries (choice B) are usually markedly enlarged with multiple cysts, often with intracystic hemorrhage, ascites, and pleural effusions. Most often, this occurs in the setting of first­trimester pregnancy following ovulation induction for assisted fertility. The ovaries in this patient are onlymildlyenlarged,andthequestionstatedthatsheisnotpregnant.
Althoughendometriosis (choiceD)canbeacauseofinfertility,itis notthebestchoicebecauseno endometrioma is shown. Endometriomas usually have the appearance of complex ovarian cysts, often containinguniformlow-levelechoes.Othersonographicfeatures includepunctateechogenicmuralfoci, fluid–fluid levels,internalseptations,multilocularity,andsolid-appearingnodules duetoclottedblood. Theovariesinthiscasehavenoneofthesesonographicfeatures.

4.AnswerD.Thefirstimageshowstheleftovary,whichisnormalbothinsizeandinmorphology.The
nextimageshowstherightovary,whichisenlargedrelativetotheasymptomaticleftside.Inaddition,the ovarianstroma isenlargedandheterogeneous,and thefolliclesaredisplacedperipherally. Theimaging findings,alongwiththeclinicalpresentationandlaboratoryvalues,arecompatiblewithovariantorsion (choiceD).Clinically, patientswithovariantorsionpresent withacuteonsetofpain, oftenwithnausea andvomiting.Intermittentpainmayprecedetheacuteepisodebyweeks.Ovariantorsionmaypresentat any time in life, although relatively uncommon following menopause. The risk is increased during pregnancy.Themostconstantfindinginovariantorsionisunilateralenlargementofthetorsedovary.This istrueevenwhentheovaryshowsDopplerflow,whichisthoughttobetheresultofdualbloodsupplyto theovary.Thetorsedovarycan,infact,showarterialflow,venousflow,both,orneither.Therefore,in theappropriateclinicalsetting,anenlargedovaryshouldsuggesttorsioneveninthepresenceofDoppler flow. Additional findings include heterogenous echotexture (from hemorrhage, edema, and necrosis), relative paucity of follicles, small peripheral follicles, echogenic rings around thefollicles (follicular ringsign),twistedpedicle,whirlpoolsign,andovariancyst.
Oophoritis (choice A) is not correct because of the clinical presentation. Although there can be relative asymmetric ovarian enlargement, oophoritis typically presents in the context of pelvic inflammatory disease, which has a different presentation of fever, cervical motion tenderness, and leukocytosis,whichthispatientdoesnothave.Ovarianhyperstimulation(choiceB)isincorrectbecause it typically involves both ovaries in a patient in the setting of first-trimester pregnancy following ovulation induction. This patient is not pregnant, and only one ovary is enlarged. Polycystic ovarian syndrome(choiceC)isincorrectbecauseoftheacutepresentation,whichisnotafeatureofPCOS.

5.AnswerB.Thefirstimageshowsanabnormallythickenedendometriumwithasolidmasscontaining
cysticspaces.The secondimageshowsDopplerflowwithinthemass.Basedontheimagesshown and theclinicalinformationprovided,thebestanswerisB.
Thepatientispostmenopausalandpresentswithvaginalbleeding.Accordingtoaconsensusstatement by the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound, an endometrial thickness of >5 mm in a woman with postmenopausal bleeding is abnormal. In a woman of this age group, the most likely causes are hyperplasia,polyps,submucosalfibroid,andcarcinoma.Theendometriuminthispatientisclearlymuch thickerthan5mm.Inapostmenopausalpatient,theendometriumisnormallythin,homogeneous,and<5 mm. If the endometrium is thicker than 5 mm in a woman with postmenopausal bleeding, further evaluationwithtissuesamplingshouldbeobtained.Inapostmenopausalwomanwhoisnotbleeding,the upperlimitofendometrial thicknessiscontroversial,but athresholdof8mm(some suggest 11mm) is advocated.
ChoiceAisnotcorrectbecausetheendometriumisclearlytoothicktocallnormalinawomanofany age.Also,thereisclearlyamassintheendometrialcanal.Althoughsubmucosalfibroids(choiceC)can causebleeding,theyareusuallybroadbased,solid,hypoechoicmasseswithanouterlayerofechogenic endometrium.Thislesionisnotcompletelysolidandisisoechoictothemyometrium.Althoughthecystic componentsaremorecommonlypresentwithinpolyps,theycanalsobeidentifiedwithinhyperplasiaand carcinoma.Therefore,atissuediagnosisisneeded.ChoiceDisnotthecorrectanswerbecauseimaging cannotreliablyexcludecarcinoma.

6.  Answer B.  The first image shows an enlarged uterus with a bulbous configuration, with marked
myometrial heterogeneity, especiallyalongtheanterior aspect.Thesecond image(transvaginal) shows similar findings with multiple echogenic andhypoechoic linear striations, the so-called venetianblind appearance. Also note the indistinct interface between the endometrium and the myometrium. These findingsaretheresultofadenomyosis.Adenomyosisisacommonconditioncharacterizedbythepresence of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium. These patients present with abnormally heavy vaginalbleeding, particularlyatmenses, dyspareunia, and an enlarged uterus. Verycommonly, thereis greaterinvolvementintheposteriorwall.Adenomyosiscomesintwoforms:diffuse,whichiscomposed ofwidelyscatteredfoci within themyometrium,andnodular, whichconsistsof circumscribed nodules called adenomyomas. Ultrasound findings include an enlarged, globular uterus, disproportionate thickening of the posterior myometrium, myometrial cysts, heterogeneous echotexture, linear shadows (“venetianblind”)pattern,andindistinctmyometrial–endometrialinterface.MRIishighlyaccurateinthe diagnosis of adenomyosis, which shows thickening of the junctional zone (>12 mm) on T2-weighted images,aswellaspoorlydefinedareasofdecreasedT2signalinthemyometrium.
Lipoleiomyoma (choice A) are rare, fat-containing, benign neoplasms that are well-defined, solid echogenic masses. Intramural leiomyoma (choice C) is incorrect because of the indistinct borders. Althoughtheycanhaveavarietyofappearancesandcanalsohavethe“venetianblind”appearance,they arewell-circumscribedmasses.Endometrialpolyp(choiceD)isincorrectbecausetheimagesshowthat the abnormality is in the myometrium, not the endometrium.Also, polyps do not cause dyspareunia or globularuterineenlargement.

7.AnswerB.Thefirsttwoimageslabeled“rtovary”showahomogeneouslyechogenicmasswithinthe
right ovary. Attenuation of the ultrasound beam resultsinpoor visualization of the deepportionofthe mass, the“tipoftheiceberg”sign.Thesecondimageshowsshadowingdeep tothemass.Thenexttwo imagesarelabeled“ltovary”andshowacysticlesioncontainingmultipleechogenic,linearstrands,the “dermoidmesh”sign.Thesecondimageoftheleftovaryalsoshowsanechogenicmasswithattenuation oftheultrasoundbeamdeeptothemass.Therefore,thecorrectanswerisbilateraldermoidcysts,choice B.Dermoidsarebenignovariangermcelltumorscomposedofmatureepithelialstructuresincludingskin, desquamated epithelium,hair,teeth, sebum,lipid, andcalcification.Theyare present from birth, grow slowly,andareoftendetectedincidentallyduringimagingperformedforotherreasons.Tentotwenty-five percentarebilateral.Dermoidsexhibitavarietyofappearances.ThedermoidplugorRokitanskynodule isan echogenicmasscomposedofamixtureofhair andsebaceousmaterial.Often,onlythesuperficial portionof this lesionis well visualized because ofattenuationoftheultrasound beam,the“tip of the icebergsign.”Somedermoidshavemultiplefloatinglinearechoes,whicharehair,the“dermoidmesh” sign.Thefluidcomponentissebumandcanbeanechoicorcontainlow-levelechoes.Afat–fluidlevelis veryuncommonly seen but is a very characteristic finding, as are multiple echogenic floating spheres, whichare fat globules. Some dermoids can show multiple components. Most dermoids are surgically removed becauseof risk of torsionormalignant transformation, which occurs in approximately2% of dermoids.
Endometriomas(choiceA)haveavarietyofappearancesincludinghomogeneous,low-levelechoes in a ground-glass pattern, punctate echogenic foci in the wall, and fluid–fluid levels. They are often multipleandbilateral.Themarkedly hyperechoictissues shown on thiscase arenottypicalofthelow­levelechoeswithin endometriomas.Also,hair would not be a feature of endometriomas. Tuboovarian abscesses(choiceC)arecysticmassesandareoftenbilateralbutalsowouldnotexhibitthedistinctive features alreadydescribedfordermoids.Hemorrhagic cysts(choice D) canshowreticular fineechoes thattendtobelacyinappearance,notthestraightlinearechoesseeninthiscase.Theycanalsoappearto besolidandbemistakenforthedermoidplug,butthedermoidplugisusuallymoreechogenicandwill attenuate the ultrasound beam, whereas a hemorrhagic cyst will show posterior enhancement. Also, hemorrhagiccystsarenottypicallybilateral.

8.AnswerB.Thestandardforpeerreviewispeerconsensus,not pathologicorsurgicalproofofthe
final diagnosis. Peer review data is immune to legal action and discovery. It is a safe form of self­regulationamongqualifiedradiologists.Thepeerreviewdataarenotavailableforpublicreportingnor cantheybeusedbyTheJointCommissiontomakeaccreditationdecisions.

9.AnswerC.Thefirstimageshowsahomogeneouslyechogenicintramuralmassintheposterioruterus.
The second image shows no Doppler flow within this lesion. A highly echogenic mass within the myometrium is virtuallydiagnostic of a lipomatousuterinetumor. These are uncommon benigntumors consisting of variable portions of mature adipocytes, smooth muscle, or fibrous tissue. These tumors histologically include pure lipomas, lipoleiomyoma, and fibrolipomyomas. The typical ultrasound
appearance is that of an echogenic solid mass with no Doppler flow. These tumors are typically asymptomaticandrequirenotreatment.Itisimportanttolocalizethesemassestotheuterusastheimaging appearanceoverlapswiththemorecommonovariandermoid.
ChoiceAisincorrectbecauseacalcifiedfibroidwouldshowposteriorshadowing,whichthisdoes not. The typical appearance of an adenomyoma (choice B) is that of a heterogeneous nodule with indistinctmarginsandcysticspaces,whichisverydifferentfromtheappearanceofthis.AuterineAVM (choiceD)isalesioncomposed ofmultipletubularorserpiginouscysticstructuresin themyometrium, sometimes extending into the endometrium on gray-scale imaging corresponding to vessels shown on colorDopplerimaging.Theymostoftenfollowtraumasecondarytopregnancy,dilatationandcurettage, orabortion.

10.AnswerC.Transvaginalultrasoundimagesoftheleftadnexashowadilatedtubularstructurefilled
withlow-levelinternalechoes(debris).Theincompleteinternalseptations suggestthatthisstructureis the fallopiantube and nota cystic ovarian mass. The transverse imageshows small nodules along the wallofthetube,whichrepresentthickenedendosalpingealfolds(“cogwheelsign”).
The imagingappearanceisconsistent with pyosalpinx inthe settingofpelvicinflammatorydisease (PID).Pyosalpinx occurs when adhesionsobstruct the fimbriatedendof the fallopiantuberesultingin accumulation of pus within the tube. The infection may progress and involve the ovary resulting in a tuboovarian complex (TOC) or a tuboovarian abscess (TOA). In a TOC, the ovary and tube can be identifiedas separatestructureswithinthe inflammatorymass.However,tuboovarian abscesses(TOA) appear as complex multiloculated cystic and solid adnexal masses in which the fallopian tubes and ovariescannotbeidentifiedasdiscreteentities.
Absenceof the “gut signature”in thetubular structure shownexcludesenterocolitis. Moreover,the clinicalhistoryalsoindicatesapelvicpathology(choiceA).Ovariantorsion isnotcommonin patients with PID because of formation of adhesions in the pelvis from the inflammatory process (choice B).

12.  AnswerB.  Theimageprovided shows low-level echoes inthe superficial aspect of the urinary
bladder. This is an example of reverberation artifact, which occurs when sound reflects off of strong acousticinterfacesinthenearfield,andthereturningpulseisstrongenoughtoreflectoffofthetransducer itselfandbackintothebody sothat itcaninteractwiththesame near-fieldinterfacesasecond timeor multiple times. This produces an additional set of echoes that are interpreted as arising deep to the originalreflector.Thereverberationartifactisusuallynotobviousinsofttissues.However,theanechoic backgroundofcysticstructuresallowsthereverberationstobeseen.
Reverberationartifactcanbedecreasedoreliminatedbydecreasingpoweroutputandgain(choiceA isincorrect).Theycanalsobeminimizedby positioningthetransducersothatthecystic structureisno longer inthe nearfield.Usingmoreultrasoundgel(choiceC)willdisplaceairbetween the transducer andskinsurfacetoeliminatereflectioncausedby air,butwillhavenoimpactonreverberationartifact. Evenifthebladderismoredistended(choiceD),itwillstillbeinthenearfieldifallotherparameters remainthesameand,therefore,willhavenoimpactonthereverberationartifact.

13.AnswerD.Thefirstimageshowsasmoothechogenicmassexpandingtheendometrialcavityatthe
fundus.Thesecondimageshowsafeedingvesselextendingtothemass.Thisappearanceischaracteristic ofendometrialpolyp. Endometrialpolypsarecommonbenignhyperplastic overgrowthsofendometrial glandsandstromathatformaprojectionfrom thesurfaceoftheendometrium.Theyareoneofthemost common etiologies of abnormal vaginal bleeding in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. However, they may also be asymptomatic. Although the majority of endometrial polyps are benign, a smallpercentage(0.5%to3%)maybepremalignantormalignant.Thetypicalsonographicappearanceof endometrialpolypisafocal,roundechogenicmasswithintheendometrialcavity.Thevisualizationofa feeding artery in the pedicle is characteristic of endometrial polyp. If a feeding artery is not readily visualized,sonohysterogrammayberequiredtoconfirmthediagnosis.
The ultrasound images here show the typical appearance of an endometrial polyp. A normal endometrium (choice A) would not be expected to have such appearance. Generally, endometrial hyperplasia (choice B) is characterized bydiffuse thickening of the endometrium as opposed to focal natureofanendometrialpolyp.Sonohysterographyishelpfulindifferentiatingbetweenthetwoentities.A vascular pedicle will not be expected to be seen in endometrial hyperplasia. A submucosal fibroid (choiceC)isusuallyhypoechoicwithposteriorshadowingandhasanoverlyingechogenicendometrium.

14.  AnswerB. The first image shows a largemixed solid and cystic leftovarian mass. The second
imageshowslow-resistancearterialflowinthesolidcomponentofthelesion.
When evaluating a mixed solid and cystic ovarian lesion, the features that raise concern for malignancy are thick irregular septa (>3 mm), wall thickening, andpapillaryexcrescences, which are solid nodules along the septationsoralong the wall.Incystic ovarian neoplasms,a solid nodule with internalblood flowhasthegreatestchanceofbeingassociatedwithmalignancy.Presence ofvery-low­resistance arterial flow in the solid component raises the level of suspicion but is not specific for malignancy.Low-resistanceflowcanalsobeseenincorpuslutealcystsandhigh-resistancearterialflow canalsobeseeninportionsofovariancancer.
