Interobserver variability and positive predictive value for ultrasonographic BI-RADS categories requiring pathohistological evaluation.

Objective: The objective of this study was an analysis of interobserver variability and positive predictive value (PPV) for BI-RADS categories requiring pathohistological evaluation: 4A, 4B, 4C, and 5.

Material And Methods: Interobserver variability for each of descriptors as well as PPV for final BI-RADS categories requiring pathohistological evaluation was measured in a retrospective study which included 30 ultrasonographic reports, with pathohistological verification, randomly selected from ultrasonographic reports from Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia where about 1,100 breast cancers are verified every year. Ten observers, seven gynecologists, and three radiologists, independently rated each ultrasonographic report according to the fourth edition of BI-RADS atlas.

Simultaneous dermoid cyst and endometriosis in the same ovary: a case report.

The authors present a case of a 33-year-old infertile woman with coincidental dermoid cyst and ovarian endometriosis in the same ovary. She was admitted to the Clinic because of cystic tumor of the left adnexa. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) examination found a bilocular tumor of complex structure on the left ovary.

The significance of 3D power Doppler in prenatal diagnosis and the evaluation of the anatomical structure of vein of Galen aneurysmatic malformation: case report.

Prenatal diagnosis of vein of Galen aneurysmatic malformation (VGAM) is made with the use of color Doppler, while in B-mode it is seen as a centrally placed supratentorial cystic structure. 3D-power Doppler (3D-PD) is a method that enables precise visualization of the vascular anatomy of this complex malformation. In our case, VGAM was detected in the 33rd week of gestation with power Doppler, and the use of 3D-PD enabled better visualization of the angioarchitecture and detection of feeding and drainage vessels of aneurysmatic widening.

Pregnancy following conservative surgical treatment of the malignant mixed germ-cell tumor of the ovary--case report.

We present a case of pregnancy after complete conservative surgical treatment in a young woman with malignant mixed germ-cell tumor of the ovary. She was submitted to surgical treatment involving only unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with infracolic omentectomy and dissection of the pelvic and paraaortal lymph nodes. Three years after the operation and chemotherapy the patient spontaneously conceived and gave birth to a healthy baby.
