Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the role of transvaginal ultrasound combined with clinical parameters, CA125 determinations, and color Doppler in the differentiation between functional cysts and other adnexal masses. STUDY DESIGN: Two hundred and eighty-seven consecutive persistent adnexal masses were submitted to B-mode transvaginal ultrasonography associated with color and power Doppler imaging. Plasma CA125 concentrations were measured before surgery. RESULTS: According to the obtained logistic regression equation, the presence of anechoic tumors without echogenic portions or septa and CA125
