The ability of clinical approach to diagnose the exact pathology of adnexal mass is still a question.\nObjective: To explore the correlation of clinical findings with operative and histopathological findings of adnexal masses.\nMethod and Materials: A prospective and observational study was conducted in a tertiary hospital during the period of July 2015 to December 2015. 69 patients were selected according to purposive sampling and further scrutinized according to selection criteria, which were clinically diagnosed as adnexal mass. All the 50 patients undergone surgical intervention followed by histopathology. All the patients’ data were recorded through a semi-structured data collection sheet.\nResult: Study shows clinical and post-operative (per-operative + histopathology) findings of adnexal masses were 54% vs 50% for ovarian endometrioma, 24% vs 22% for benign ovarian tumor and 22% vs 26% for other adnexal masses respectively.\nConclusion: Clinical findings with the help of sonography can guide effectively to the diagnosis of adnexal masses. However, per-operative and histopathological findings are required for the confirmation.\nCentral Medical College Journal Vol 6 No 2 Jauly 2022 Page: 62-66\n215\n214\nDownloads\nPublished\nHow to Cite\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2022 Central Medical College Journal\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
