Correlation between transvaginal color doppler and histologic diagnosis in ovarian tumors

Abstract

Objective: To correlationate findings of transvaginal color Doppler with frozen section and definitive biopsy in patients with
ovarian neoplasms attended at Hospital General del Este “Dr. Domingo Luciani” Octubre 2007-2008. Patients and method: There were included 33 patients with ages between 18 -70 years old. It was performed a pelvic-transvaginal Doppler before the surgical exploration. There were performed frozen section and definitive biopsy and these results were compared with the ultrasound findings. Results: A 66% were benign neoplasms; serous cystic adenoma (36.3%) and 33.3% malign, with a 27.2% of adenocarcinoma. Sensitivity was 100% and specificity 95%. Resistance Index, Pulsatility Index and Systolic Velocity, had a sensitivity of 89%, 100% and 90% with a specificity of 95%, 85% and 91% respectively. Frozen section and definitive biopsy were 100 % concordant. Conclusion: Pelvic- transvaginal Doppler in our study have high sensitivity and specificity in ovarian´s tumors.
