Abstract: Transvaginal ultrasound is a primary modality for adnexal mass detection and characterization. The current combined technique, which includes assessment of morphologic features and Doppler characteristics, gives the most accurate prediction of malignancy. Gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging serves as a problem-solving modality in cases of indeterminate adnexal masses. A combination of T1-weighted images and T1-weighted images with fatsaturation helps to differentiate most common benign adnexal masses, such as endometrioma and teratoma, from malignant ones. Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis is the primary modality for preoperative staging and treatment follow-up. In cases of pelvic recurrence, MR imaging is a preferred modality to assess tumor resectability. In equivocal cases when tumor recurrence is suggested by an increase in the tumor marker CA-125, but tumor implants are too small to be detected by conventional CT, combined PET/CT may be valuable for determining tumor activity. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
