Background And Objectives: Our objective was to review the surgical management, surgical outcomes, and obstetric outcomes of adnexal masses in pregnancy.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of pregnant women before 20 weeks of gestation who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy for management of an adnexal mass during the period of January 2005 to June 2012 at a university-affiliated hospital.
Results: Thirty-five pregnant women underwent surgical removal of adnexal masses during the 7.5-year study period: 21 (60.0%) underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 14 (40.0%) underwent laparotomy. The left upper quadrant entry technique was used in 20 women. Conversion to laparotomy was required in 2 women because of extensive pelvic adhesions. The mean gestational age at surgery was 15.2 ± 1.9 weeks. All women had undergone ovarian cystectomy. A malignant mass was found in 3 (8.6%) women. The laparoscopy group had a significantly less blood loss (67.4 ± 55.8 vs 153.6 ± 181.0 mL, P = .048) and shorter mean hospital stay (2.8 ± 1.0 vs 3.8 ± 1.1 days, P = .006) than the laparotomy group. One woman miscarried soon after surgery. There was no significant difference in obstetric outcomes between the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups.
Conclusion: Surgical management of adnexal masses during pregnancy appears to have favorable outcomes for the mother and the fetus.

In the present case, a 66-year-old woman presented to the Specialty Hospital (Amman, Jordan) with recurrent post-menopausal bleeding. A pelvic ultrasound scan showed an abnormal endometrial thickness of 8 mm and no adnexal masses. An endometrial biopsy revealed abundant foamy histiocyte infiltration features suggestive of xanthogranulomatous endometritis.

Pelvic masses in women can originate from both gynecological and non-gynecological sources, necessitating careful evaluation to ensure appropriate treatment. Gynecological masses can range from functional ovarian cysts and tubo-ovarian abscesses to malignant and benign tumors. This case report presents a mucinous borderline ovarian tumor (BOT), a rare type of ovarian neoplasm.

Objective: To develop an automatic segmentation model to delineate the adnexal masses and construct a machine learning model to differentiate between low malignant risk and intermediate-high malignant risk of adnexal masses based on ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS).
Methods: A total of 663 ultrasound images of adnexal mass were collected and divided into two sets according to experienced radiologists: a low malignant risk set (n = 446) and an intermediate-high malignant risk set (n = 217). Deep learning segmentation models were trained and selected to automatically segment adnexal masses.

Background: Early detection is crucial for improving survival of patients with ovarian cancer (OC), yet current diagnostic tools lack adequate sensitivity and specificity, especially for early stage disease. The study aimed to validate the serum small extracellular vesicles (sEV) protein based Ovarian Cancer Score (OCS) in detecting OC.
Methods: This multicenter study included 1183 adult females with adnexal masses from four hospitals in China (October 2019-April 2023).

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, China.
Objectives: To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced CT in diagnosing ultrasonography-unspecified adnexal torsion (AT).
Methods: Surgically confirmed patients with painful pelvic masses (n = 165) were retrospectively collected from two institutes. Two senior radiologists independently reviewed the CT images and determined the Hounsfield unit difference between non-contrast vs portal venous phases (ΔHU) in both derivation and validation samples.
