摘要

Purpose

To evaluate the role of 64 multidetector CT (MDCT) with multiplanar reformation in evaluation of bilateral ovarian masses and to correlate the findings with histopathological results and surgery.

Material and methods

MDCT was performed to 23 patients with sonographically detected bilateral ovarian masses. All scans were performed on a 64 row CT scanner at the oncology center, Mansoura University. The axial and reformatted images were evaluated for lesion characterization and the relationship to adjacent structures. The radiological findings were correlated with operative and pathological findings.

Results

There were 11 bilateral malignant lesions and 9 bilateral similar benign lesions. Three cases showed different benign lesions in both sides.

All malignant lesions were read by MDCT as malignant, also all benign lesions were read by MDCT as benign except for one case with endometrioid cyst which was diagnosed as malignant tumor by CT.

Conclusion

64 Multidetector CT with MPR in different planes allows good visualization and characterization of bilateral ovarian masses with greater diagnostic accuracy and improves the detection of peritoneal metastases.
