Müllerian adenosarcoma (MA) is a rare malignant tumor of the female reproductive system. Owing to the limited number of clinical cases and the absence of characteristic clinical manifestations, its clinical course remains poorly defined, re…

Accessory Cavitated Uterine Malformation (ACUM) can be misdiagnosed as other uterine pathologies, such as Müllerian anomalies, adenomyosis, or fibroids. In the present case series, we report on data of eleven cases of ACUM. The mean age at …

Sonovaginography (SVG) is a specialized ultrasound technique for evaluating certain locations of deep endometriosis (DE) in the posterior compartments. In this study, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of saline/gel SVG in the detection of…

We report a rare case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome accompanied by simultaneous adenomyosis and leiomyoma in rudimentary uterine remnants. A 35-year-old woman presented with progressive lower abdominal pain and underwent…

We present a case of a very rare benign ovarian tumor, a sclerosing stromal tumor (SST). In addition, we performed a review of the literature to describe the spectrum of sonographic findings of this tumor. Our case was a 43 year-old woman, …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the variations in junctional zone (JZ) ultrasonographic parameters using three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS) across different age groups and evaluate their diagnostic potential for a…

This systematic review aimed to explore the application and effectiveness of transperineal ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for evaluating pelvic floor musculature (PFM) dysfunction in patients with chronic pelvic pain and related conditions…

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate the ultrasonography sliding sign with enhanced reliability using an inter-observer approach, with the aim of predicting standardized intra-abdominal adhesions before cesarean section. METHODS: Betw…

OBJECTIVES: To describe the longitudinal ultrasound features and clinical course of ovarian endometriomas in postmenopausal women, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide follow-up strategies. METHODS: This retrospective observatio…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the ultrasonographic imaging features of accessory cavitated uterine malformations (ACUM) and discuss the practical value of ultrasonography in diagnosing this disease. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted …

Robert's uterus is a rare Müllerian duct anomaly (MDA) characterized by complete asymmetric septum dividing uterine cavity into two non-communicating parts. This study offers insights into diagnosing and management of this condition in a yo…

PURPOSE: To investigate the association of sonographic features and clinical symptoms of adenomyosis. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study. Only reproductive age women who underwent standardized transvaginal ultrasound exami…

The prevalence of malignant transformation of endometriotic lesions is estimated between 0.3% and 1%. Malignant transformations of endometriosis occur in the colorectum is rarer, accounting for 0.25%. Because the malignant transformation of…

OBJECTIVE: Defining the normal range for the anterior/posterior myometrial wall thickness ratio in a cohort of women without adenomyosis or any other uterine wall anomaly on ultrasound examination. METHODS: Anterior and posterior miometria…

This review summarizes the current evidence regarding the diagnostic accuracy of sonography (US) in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). It is well known that transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) can detect ovarian endometriomas with…

Intussusception of the appendix is an uncommon condition that is difficult to diagnose with radiology. Endometriosis causing appendiceal intussusception is a rare condition that has only been reported a few times in the literature. Here, we…

Round ligament varicosities associated with uterine varicosities are rare during pregnancy. We report the case of a pregnant woman with a painful mass in her left groin at 32 weeks' gestation. Ultrasound revealed multiple distended veins wi…

PURPOSE: To determinate transvaginal scan (TVS) accuracy in the preoperative evaluation of deep endometriosis in a large cohort of patients with subsequent laparoscopic assessment. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in a tertiary…

We present a rare case of endometriosis of the cervix. Transvaginal sonography showed a 35-mm cyst in the cervix with diffuse, low-level internal echoes. Transvaginal sonography-guided aspiration with a 17-gauge needle was performed, yieldi…

PURPOSE: To describe the sonographic (US) appearances of endometriomas developed in the vicinity of a scar from Cesarean section and compare sonographic and clinical characteristics of large (> or =3 cm) scar endometriomas (LSEs) with small…

The detection of an ovarian mass during pregnancy is often a diagnostic challenge. We describe 2 cases of ovarian endometrioma during pregnancy with marked mural nodules on the cyst wall. The sonographic and MR imaging findings mimicked ova…

We reviewed the sonographic features of endometriosis in infrequent sites, including the abdominal wall, appendix, perineum, and bladder. Familiarity with the clinical setting and the sonographic appearance of endometriosis in both frequent…

Uterine adenomyosis usually manifests as diffuse disease involving the myometrium and the endometrial-myometrial junction, but it may also manifest as a focal lesion. It is usually only a few millimeters in diameter but may sometimes be lar…
