Dr. Roopa, Dr Raj G Bumiya

Abstract :

 Introduction: Ultrasonography is a valuable diagnostic aid in many anches of medicine and it is of major importance in Obstetrics and Gynecology It is particularly well suited to examine the uterus, as the uterus is a homogeneous organ and focal area of inhomogeneity as well as any abnormality in shape and size can be detected. Aim: To evaluate the ultrasonographic characterization of uterine lesions. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was done in a tertiary care teaching hospital. The study included 50 patients referred to radiology department with suspected clinical diagnosis of uterine lesions. All the sonographic examinations were performed through transabdominal and transvaginal route. Ultrasound diagnosis was confirmed with the histopathological report of the lesions. Results: Most common uterine lesion was fioid followed by carcinoma cervix. Fioids had well defined border in 22 patients and ill defined in 3 patents. Intramural location was most common. Among the 9 adenomyosis cases, majority of the patients had poor endometrial–myometrial differentiation. Carcinoma cervix was seen in 13 patients and endometrial carcinoma was seen in 3 cases. Cervical cancer lesions had ill defined border in 9 patients and well defined in 4 patients. Endometrial carcinoma had thickened common endometrial thickness (CET) in one patient and two of them had mass lesion. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a primary tool which is simple, non–invasive, widely available and relatively inexpensive modality to detect and to study the characteristics of uterine lesions.
