This study is to analyze and compare the diagnostic efficacy of the ADNEX model and O-RADS in Northeast China for benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors. From July 2020 to February 2022, ultrasound images of 312 ovarian-adnexal masses included in the study were analyzed retrospectively, and the properties of these masses were identified using the ADNEX model and O-RADS. The diagnostic efficiency of the ADNEX model and O-RADS was analyzed using a ROC curve, and the capacities of the two models in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian masses at the optimum cutoff value were compared, as well as the consistency of their diagnosis results was evaluated. The study included 312 ovarian-adnexal masses, including 145 malignant masses and 167 benign masses from 287 patients with an average age of (46.8 ± 11.3) years. The AUC of the ADNEX model was 0.974, and the optimum cutoff value was the risk value > 24.2%, with the corresponding sensitivity and specificity being 97.93 and 86.83, respectively. The AUC of the O-RADS was 0.956, and the optimum cutoff value was > O-RADS 3, with the corresponding sensitivity and specificity being 97.24 and 85.03, respectively. The AUCs of the two models were 0.924 and 0.911 at the optimum cutoff values, with no statistical differences between them (P = 0.284). Consistency analysis: the kappa values of the two models for the determination and pathological results of masses were 0.840 and 0.815, respectively, and that for the diagnostic outcomes was 0.910. Both the ADNEX model and O-RADS had good diagnostic performance in people from Northeast China. Their diagnostic capabilities were similar, and diagnostic results were highly consistent at the optimum cutoff values.

The concurrent presentation of a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) and a borderline Brenner tumor (BT) of the ovary are exceedingly rare. Brenner tumors stand out as a particularly uncommon form, making up only around 5% of all benign epithelial tumors of the ovary. Among the ovarian Brenner, the borderline subtype is even rarer. Appendiceal neoplasm (LAMN) and right ovarian BT cannot be distinguished due to their anatomical position. LAMN is often an incidental finding and at later stages when left undiagnosed may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). This case describes a postmenopausal woman in her 50s experiencing abdominal pain and bloating for a week. Elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and imaging suggested a potential right ovarian tumor. Interestingly, it revealed a unique combination of borderline Brenner tumor of the right ovary and low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm.

UNASSIGNED: Children having gonadal tumors and disorder of sex differentiation (DSD) are rare.
UNASSIGNED: To investigate the presentation of DSD children with malignant gonadal tumors.
UNASSIGNED: A retrospective study from 2010-2020, that evaluated 17 children with DSD, including 13 females, eight months to 16 years, with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 5-alpha reductase deficiency, androgen insensitivity syndrome, Turner, Sywer, and Klinefelter syndromes.
UNASSIGNED: Ten children had malignant gonadal tumor; nine had germ cell tumors and one person granulosa cell tumors, while seven children with non-malignant tumor had gonadoblastoma, cystadenoma (five children), and cysts. Systemic malformations, obesity, elevated tumor markers, and psychosocial issues were observed in 90%, 90%, 70%, and 50% of children with malignancy unlike 28.6%, 42.9%, 14.35%, and 57.1% children without malignancy respectively. Most (9/10) children >12 years, had psychosocial issues, unlike 0/7 children ≤12 years. From 8/17 children presenting with symptoms suggestive of tumor, 75% had malignancy, while from 9/17 children with DSD presentation, 44% had malignant tumors. Malignancy was observed in 3/10 children between eight months to age six, while 7/10 children had stage 1-2 tumors. We reported a child, identified as female, aged 13 years, with partial androgen insensivity syndrome (PAIS) 46,XY, and testicular papillary serous cystadenoma with genomic variant AR NM_000044.4:c.2750del. p.(F917Sfs*27) chromosome Xq12, never published in people with PAIS nor population databases (GnomAD).
UNASSIGNED: DSD diagnosis raises numerous challenges. People with DSD have increased risk of malignancy, especially when obesity and, systemic malformations are present; also, psychosocial issues in these children are associated with postpubertal age.

UNASSIGNED: This study aims to analyze giant ovarian tumors\' clinical and pathological characteristics.
UNASSIGNED: This was an analytical observational study. Medical records of all patients with giant ovarian tumors who underwent surgery between January 2020 and June 2022 at Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, were analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: We analyzed 63 patients with ovarian tumors measuring > 20 cm who underwent surgery at Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. The mean tumor size was 25.9 cm (largest size was 41 cm). There was no significant difference in tumor size between benign and malignant giant ovarian tumors (p = 0.261). Based on histopathological results, 66.67 % of giant ovarian tumors were malignant, 26.98 % were benign, and 6.35 % were borderline. Among the malignant tumors, the epithelial type accounted for 69 % of cases. Most giant ovarian tumors originated in the left adnexa (68.25 %). There was no significant difference in patient age (p = 0.511), tumor size (p = 0.168), malignancy (p = 0.303), and histopathological type (p = 0.232) regardless of adnexal side. CA125 levels did not differ significantly between malignant and benign giant ovarian tumors (p = 0.604). There was no correlation between malignant ovarian tumor size and CA125 levels, while there was a significant difference between CA125 levels and the adnexal side (p = 0.010).
UNASSIGNED: Most giant ovarian tumors were malignant, diagnosed at an early stage, and predominantly epithelial type. CA125 levels did not correlate with the size of malignant ovarian tumors. Most giant ovarian tumors originate in the left adnexa.

A tubo-ovarian abscess is a potential life-threatening condition. In postmenopausal women, it is rarely seen and it has fewer typical symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. This report concerns a postmenopausal patient who was admitted with general health decline, weight loss and ascites. At first, a malignancy of the right ovary was suspected because of the sonographic and laboratory findings. On diagnostic laparoscopy, the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease was made, most likely caused by a Mirena intrauterine device that had been in place for 20 years. In a postmenopausal woman a tubo-ovarian abscess should be included in differential diagnoses especially if she has an intrauterine device. Conservative treatment with antibiotics is preferred. If surgery is required, diagnostic laparoscopy is advised.

Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma (RPLMS) is rare and usually presents as a large abdominal mass with poor clinical symptoms. Radiological findings of an RPLMS arising in the pelvis of a woman resemble those of adnexal tumors. Herein, we present a case of RPLMS mimicking an adnexal tumor which was differentiated from having an ovarian origin as the right ovarian vein was passing through the tumor but there was no direct vascular connection with the tumor. Therefore, it is important to identify the ovarian vein to distinguish between these tumors.

Mixed germ cell tumors (mGCTs) involving both the ovaries and sellar region have been rarely reported; thus, they pose significant challenges in clinical management. Our report of a case of a 26-year-old female with left ovarian mGCTs (dysgerminoma + yolk sac tumor) who presented with postoperative headaches and blurred vision contributes new information to the literature on treating mGCTs, which can lead to standardized regimens and sequencing guidelines. A physical examination revealed right temporal hemianopia, and elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein were detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sellar region revealed a space-occupying lesion. Pathological examination of the tumor after endoscopic transnasal resection confirmed the diagnosis of mGCTs (germinomas + yolk sac tumor). The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy at reduced dosages. During follow-up, tumor markers remained within normal limits, and there was no evidence of tumor recurrence on sellar region MRI. This case highlights the rarity of the simultaneous occurrence of ovarian and sellar region mGCTs and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary management.

Ovarian serous cystadenofibroma (CAF) is a relatively uncommon variant of benign epithelial tumors of the ovary. It is frequently misdiagnosed as malignant ovarian mass, on both ultrasound (USG) and computed tomography (CT). Although most cases are easily treatable by surgery, some cases can present with life-threatening complications increasing patient morbidity and mortality. The present case report briefs about a 69-year-old female, P4 L4, who presented to the gynecology outpatient department with a complaint of pain in the lower abdomen for 2-3 months. USG and CT were suggestive of a suspicious-looking ovarian mass favoring malignancy. A staging laparotomy with pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy with omental biopsy was done. Although the tumor was benign, extensive surgery, due to the suspicion of malignancy led to the patient developing early postoperative small bowel obstruction, mandating a re-exploration. CAF is a specific type of ovarian tumor that exhibits a combination of benign characteristics. This tumor presents as a partly cystic (containing fluid-filled sacs) and partly solid (composed of fibrous tissue) growth within the ovary, displaying a diverse architectural pattern. Mostly the diagnosis is incidental, on USG done for some other indication. CAF of the ovary needs a very high index of suspicion for diagnosis as these are frequently misdiagnosed as malignant ovarian masses. Although an innocent tumor, extensive surgery done for CAF, under suspicion for malignancy, can sometimes lead to serious complications.

BACKGROUND: Despite the recent progress of fertility preservation technique, achievement of pregnancy in women with ovarian tumor is still challenging. Here, we report a case of OTO-IVM (ovarian tissue oocyte in-vitro maturation) resulting in a successful delivery.
METHODS: The patient, a 33-year-old woman with a history of left borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) who underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy three years ago, presented with an enlarged right ovary during infertility treatment, indicating the recurrence of BOT. Because the patient disagreed with curative surgery and normal part-preservation surgery, we eventually performed OTO-IVM. A right salpingo-oophorectomy was first performed. Eight immature oocytes were immediately aspirated not only from visible follicles, but also from entire cortex for invisible follicles, of the removed ovary. In addition, IVM procedure generated six mature oocytes, and were subjected to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Accordingly, three embryos were obtained and cryopreserved. Three months after surgery, hormone replacement therapy was initiated, and a frozen-thawed embryo was transferred, resulting in a successful pregnancy. Although a cesarean section was performed at 36 weeks due to maternal ileus, the baby was delivered without complications.
CONCLUSIONS: This report indicates this treatment to be an effective approach for fertility preservation in BOT patients, especially, the importance of collecting oocytes from the entire ovarian cortex was suggested.

Struma ovarii is a monodermal teratoma characterized by the presence of >50% thyroid tissue. It is mostly benign; therefore, preoperative diagnosis is important. It usually manifests as a multilocular cystic mass but rarely as a predominantly solid mass. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), solid-appearing struma ovarii showed early signal intensity enhancement on dynamic gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images, which histopathologically indicates the presence of thyroid tissue with abundant blood vessels. The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI score is a validated classification worldwide for characterizing adnexal lesions. Based on the morphology, signal intensity, and enhancement of any solid tissue on the MRI, the scoring system can be used to classify adnexal lesions into five categories from score one (no adnexal mass) to score five (high risk of malignancy). An adnexal solid mass with a higher signal intensity than that of the myometrium 30-40 seconds after gadolinium (Gd) injection on non-dynamic contrast-enhanced (non-DCE) MRI was assigned a score of 5 (high risk of malignancy).  We present a case of solid-appearing struma ovarii with a higher signal intensity than that of the myometrium 30 seconds after Gd injection on non-DCE MRI, and it was classified as score five preoperatively. Therefore, a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed despite the presence of a benign ovarian mass. When an adnexal mass with a higher signal intensity than that of the myometrium 30-40 seconds after Gd injection on non-DCE MRI is encountered, struma ovarii should be included in the differential diagnosis, despite the O-RADS MRI score of five and management of the situation should be discussed.
