SONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL MASS AND DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF HIGH FREQUENCY ULTRASOUND.

Aim :Evaluation of anterior abdominal wall masses using high frequency ultrasound to nd out varoius causes of anterior abdominal wall mass and diagnostic accuracy of high frequency ultrasound. Materials and Methods: 50 patients with the clinical manifestations of various anterior abdominal wall lesions were included in this study. All patients were examined the anterior abdominal wall using 7.0-12.0 MHz high-frequency linear transducer with Color Doppler . Results: Incisional hernia was the predominant anterior abdominal wall lesions followed by ventral hernias, lipomas, and hematomas cases. Least common was scar endometriosis,anterior abdominal wall sarcoma. the high-resolution ultrasound had an overall 100% accuracy for abdominal wall lesions. Conclusion: High-frequency sonography is an accurate diagnostic imaging modality in anterior abdominal wall lesions and guide to management aspect.
