Presentation
Right pelvic pain with history of ovarian cysts. An intrauterine contraceptive device is present.
Patient Data
The right ovary shows a cystic lesion with anechoic contents as well as numerous echogenic septations forming a hyperechoic component. No internal vascularity could be detected by color Doppler interrogation and pulsed wave examination. The cyst measures about 6.0 x 6.7 x 7.6 cm.
The left ovary is of normal size, measuring about 2.0 x 3.2 cm, with a normal shape and echotexture. No abnormal cysts or masses could be seen.
The uterus is normal size, measuring about 3.1 x 3.3 x 8.8 cm, and shows a normal echopattern and no focal lesion. IUCD is in a normal position.
The cervix has a normal appearance with no focal lesion.
Minimal anechoic free fluid in the pouch of Douglas, likely physiological.
No abnormal pelvic collection.
Case Discussion
The images are compatible with a hemorrhagic cyst in the right ovary.
Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts should be differentiated from ovarian neoplasms, which show solid nodules or papillae with vascularity on color Doppler.
