Abstract
The presence of an adnexal mass is one of the leading indications for gynecological surgery. About 0.5% -10% of women will undergo surgery for a suspected adnexal mass. Ovarian tumors are the second most common gynecological tumor. Although the final diagnosis of an ovarian tumor is based on the histological examination, it is desirable to preoperatively differentiate benign, borderline ovarian tumors and invasive ovarian cancers in order to decide whether surgery is required and which type of surgery is appropriate. Thus, it can help avoiding unnecessary surgery especially in postmenopausal women and help deciding for conservative surgery for young ones wishing to preserve childbearing potential.
