Thank you for that wonderful presentation. But I have a small question, apart from number of locules being more than 10 and having a especially a big size of more than 10cm, is there any other differentiating feature between a serous and a mucinous cystadenomas?
Iota doesn’t really take into account for women who have had hysterectomy and ovaries removed… would they be in the post menopausal category if not on hrt
IOTA very much takes into account the woman’s menopausal status… postmenopausal is a patient with amenorrhoea for 1 year with uterus (if no other cause) or simply age 51 if no uterus (post hysterectomy). On or off HRT is a separate consideration and doesn’t affect their menopausal status. IOTA is mainly a language and system with risk prediction models for adnexal masses, mainly ovaries. So post TAH/BSO there are not many of such masses, but could be ovarian remnant cyst or appendix (eg mucocele), abscess or bowel lesions etc Hope that helps
Please .isnt echofree cysts all show enhancement ? Shadowing does not mean enhancement ?? What do you mean by no shadowing please ..thanks
