- Differential diagnosis of pelvic masses in a female
Pelvic masses in females carry a broad differential diagnosis:
- benign adnexal cyst
- leiomyoma
- pelvic malignancy
- dermoid
- endometriosis
- pelvic inflammatory disease
- pregnancy
Extragynaecological masses, e.g. colorectal carcinoma, appendicular abscess, lymphadenopathy, peritoneal inclusion cyst, lymphocele 3, and mesenteric cyst 3 should always be considered.
