Accessory spleen presenting as Adnexal Mass
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 1993Co-Authors: G. B. Azar, Johnny Awwad, Ibrahim K. MufarrijAbstract:Pelvic splenic ectopia is a very rare entity, often unsuspected preoperatively. We report a case of an ectopic spleen presenting as an Adnexal Mass in a middle-aged woman. Diagnosis was achieved intraoperatively, and confirmed pathologically. Pelvic ectopic spleen should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Adnexal Masses.

risk of torsion and malignancy by Adnexal Mass size in pregnant women
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2011Co-Authors: Yu-jin Koo, Tae Jin Kim, Ji-eun Lee, Yong-soon Kwon, Hyun-ja Kim, In-ho Lee, Kyung-taek Lim, Ki-heon Lee, Jae-uk Shim, Jung-eun MokAbstract:Objective. To investigate risks of torsion and malignancy by Adnexal Mass size during pregnancy. Design. Retrospective review of medical records. Setting. General university hospital and healthcare center. Population. Four hundred and seventy women who underwent surgery for Adnexal Masses during pregnancy between 2002 and 2009. Main Outcome Measures. Rate of torsion and malignancy according to Mass size classified into four groups: <6, 6―10, 10―15 and ≥15 cm. Results. Torsion was encountered in 55 patients ( 11.7%) and malignancy was confirmed in 20 (4.3%). A Mass size of 6―10 cm had a significantly higher risk of torsion than a Mass <6 cm (odds ratio 2.68, 95% confidence interval 1.33―5.40, p=0.006). Masses ≥15 cm had an approximately 12-fold higher risk of malignancy compared with Masses <6 cm (odds ratio 12.36, 95% confidence interval 2.90―52.67, p=0.001). However, for Masses of 10―15 cm, the risks of both torsion and malignancy were not higher than those of Masses <6 cm. Conclusions. Risks of torsion and malignancy are not directly proportional to increasing Mass size in pregnant women. Physicians should be aware of a high risk of malignancy in women with an Adnexal Mass of over 15 cm. However, if a Mass is smaller, the size should not be considered as a single independent factor in a decision for surgery.

Retroperitoneal hematoma presenting as an Adnexal Mass after femoral catheterization.
Obstetrics and gynecology, 2010Co-Authors: W Brett Davenport, David P Taylor, Timothy C Davenport, G Rodney MeeksAbstract:One complication of femoral artery catheterization is postprocedure pelvic hematoma. These hematomas can be difficult to differentiate from Adnexal Masses. Two women who had undergone femoral artery catheterization presented with pelvic pain within 3 months of the procedure. Imaging studies revealed a nonspecific Adnexal Mass, and CA 125 levels were normal. Both women underwent exploratory laparotomy for an Adnexal Mass and were found to have an organized retroperitoneal hematoma. An organizing or well-formed retroperitoneal hematoma should be added to the differential diagnosis in a patient with a poorly defined Adnexal Mass who has had a recent femoral artery catheterization. In patients with a Mass less than 10 cm and normal CA 125 (less than 35 units/mL), continued close observation or magnetic resonance imaging scan may be considered.
