%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Collision tumor are neoplasms, including two histologically distinct tumors that coexist in the same mass without histological admixture. The incidence of collision tumor is low and is rare clinically.<BR><B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To investigate ultrasound images and application of ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS) to evaluate the risk and pathological characteristics of ovarian collision tumor.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>This study retrospectively analyzed 17 cases of ovarian collision tumor diagnosed pathologically from January 2020 to December 2023. All clinical features, ultrasound images and histopathological features were collected and analyzed. The O-RADS score was used for classification. The O-RADS score was determined by two senior doctors in the gynecological ultrasound group. Lesions with O-RADS score of 1-3 were classified as benign tumors, and lesions with O-RADS score of 4 or 5 were classified as malignant tumors.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>There were 17 collision tumors detected in 16 of 6274 patients who underwent gynecological surgery. The average age of 17 women with ovarian collision tumor was 36.7 years (range 20-68 years), in whom, one occurred bilaterally and the rest occurred unilaterally. The average tumor diameter was 10 cm, of which three were 2-5 cm, 11 were 5-10 cm, and three were > 10 cm. Five (29.4%) tumors with O-RADS score 3 were endometriotic cysts with fibroma/serous cystadenoma, and unilocular or multilocular cysts contained a small number of parenchymal components. Eleven (64.7%) tumors had an O-RADS score of 4, including two in category 4A, six in category 4B, and three in category 4C; all of which were multilocular cystic tumors with solid components or multiple papillary components. One (5.9%) tumor had an O-RADS score of 5. This case was a solid mass, and a small amount of pelvic effusion was detected under ultrasound. The pathology was high-grade serous cystic cancer combined with cystic mature teratoma. There were nine (52.9%) tumors with elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and two (11.8%) with elevated serum CA19-9. Histological and pathological results showed that epithelial-cell-derived tumors combined with other tumors were the most common, which was different from previous results.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The ultrasound images of ovarian collision tumor have certain specificity, but diagnosis by preoperative ultrasound is difficult. The combination of epithelial and mesenchymal cell tumors is one of the most common types of ovarian collision tumor. The O-RADS score of ovarian collision tumor is mostly ≥ 4, which can sensitively detect malignant tumors.
