This updated third edition of the case review series not only focuses on ultrasound in obstetrics and gyne­cology but also emphasizes the growing use of MRI in both obstetric and gynecologic imaging. In most situations, ultrasound is denitive in either documenting normal ndings or delineating a specic abnor­mality. However, in some cases, MRI is useful in collaboration with ultrasound in establishing a diagnosis or providing other information that may be denitive. This ultrasound case series is in a new format that includes the use of multiple choice questions with more detailed explanations and discussions including the most recent medical knowledge. We have provided new cases with updated materials and the latest ref­erence publications* and cross-references to the newest edition of Ultrasound: The REQUISITES. We hope you nd these cases helpful in your understanding of ultrasound imaging of obstetric and gynecologic abnormalities for optimal patient care.

I would like to thank everyone who helped in preparation of this textbook. First and foremost, I’d like to thank Teresa Victoria, MD, PhD, and Jeffrey C. Hellinger, MD, for supplying many of the magnetic reso­nance images that helped to make this text useful. Also, I would like to thank Alex Fodor, MD, Jonathan Kuo, MD, Liina Poder, MD, Simran Sekhon, MD, Holly Thompson, MD, and Luke Wright, MD, who prepared individual cases for this Case Reviews series. They certainly helped make this journey more enjoy­able. Finally, I would like to thank those who helped me directly with either illustration preparation or text preparation including both Hue To and Julie Ostoich. Their hard work made my job much easier.

Comment
Tamoxifen Use and Effects
Tamoxifen is a widely used medication for patients with breast  cancer  because  of  its  antiestrogenic  effect  on  breast  tissue.  However,  the  medication  can  have  an  estrogenic  effect  on  the  endometrium,  and  patients  are  predisposed  to  develop 
Ultrasound Findings
An endometrial thickness greater than 5 mm warrants follow­up. One study showed that most women receiving tamoxifen  did not have symptoms such as bleeding. Nonetheless, almost  half   of   the  women  had  abnormal  endometrial thickness on  ultrasound.  Less  than  1%  of   women  receiving  tamoxifen  therapy develop endometrial cancer even though the risk may  be  increased  sixfold.  Most  women  receiving  tamoxifen  have  been doing so  for more than  5 years, and most present  with  postmenopausal bleeding. There is a considerable reduction in  endometrial thickness at 6 months after cessation of  therapy.  Sonohysterography  is  an  excellent  modality  to  delineate  the  endometrial  contents  better.  Sonohysterography  is  the  most  likely imaging procedure to reveal polyps, which are the most  frequent  abnormality  in  women  receiving  tamoxifen  treat­ment. Tamoxifen-related polyps tend to be larger and have an  increased rate of malignant changes compared with endome­trial  polyps  in  the  general  population.  A  hyperechoic  endo­metrium  with  small  cystic  spaces  is  the  classic  nding  with  tamoxifen therapy (see Figure). Many of these cystic spaces  represent  endometrial  polyps;  however,  cystic  hyperplasia  may  also  have  this  appearance.  Two-dimensional  or  three-  dimensional  sonohysterography  is  often  helpful  to  elucidate  the cause of  endometrial stripe thickening.
