Sound Familiar?
Why Adnexal Ultrasound Remains Challenging
Similar ultrasound appearances may represent entirely different diagnoses. Conversely, the same pathology can present with different imaging patterns. Diagnostic algorithms may not apply, or may require modification, in special populations such as pregnant women, children, adolescents, and postmenopausal patients
Symptoms and lesion size may not reflect disease severity or prognosis. Many diagnostic errors result from gaps in systematic, up-to-date knowledge and limited experience recognizing uncommon imaging patterns, particularly in rare conditions
