Adnexal Masses in Menopausal Women Surgery or Surveillance? Disclosure Frederick R. Ueland, MD Professor and Director Division of Gynecologic Oncology University of Kentucky I have no financial disclosures Ovarian Tumor Overview Wind River Range, WY July, 2017 Past 1980 s palpable ovary syndrome 2000 s observation of unilocular cysts 2010 s observation of septate cysts Present 10% require surgery for adnexal mass in their lifetime 1 13%-21% are malignant 2 1) Moore, McMeekin, Brown et al.

Ovarian Tumor Overview The Specifics Premenopausal Many tumors, few cancers 15% are malignant - Germ cell tumors - LMP tumors - Epithelial cancers Benign tumors - 70% functional cysts - 20% neoplastic - 10% endometriomas Other - Inflammatory Menopausal Few tumors, many cancers 50% are malignant - Epithelial ovarian cancer - Metastatic cancer - Granulosa cell tumors Benign tumors - Cystadenoma - Fibroma - Thecoma 39,337 ultrasounds performed 30% high risk (9%) solid cyst+solid unilocular 70% 30% septate Normal Abnormal 70% low risk (21%) Pavlik E, Ueland F, Miller R, et al.

Simple Rules Malignant If one or more M-rules apply in the absence of a B-rule, the mass is classified as malignant Benign If one or more B-rules apply in the absence of an M-rule, the mass is classified as benign. Indeterminate If both M-rules and B-rules apply, the mass cannot be classified. If no rule applies, the mass cannot be classified Timmerman et al.
