Abstrakt: Transvaginal ultrasonography (US) has been used as a screening method for early detection of suspected ovarian malignancies in asymptomatic women. Most ovarian abnormalities (cysts) detected by a single transvaginal US resolve without treatment. Previous studies have shown that unilocular ovarian cysts and uncomplicated septate cysts have a very low probability of malignancy when followed with serial US. No data are available, however, on the frequency and disposition (outcome andor resolution) of cysts with a complex structure monitored with serial US.
