There has been explosive growth in the utilization of cross-sectional imaging studies in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected abdominal and pelvic pathology. These imaging studies have led to a veritable epidemic of incidentally detected adnexal masses in both oncology and non-oncology patient populations that in the past remained undiscovered. In this commentary we provide some guidance and practical advice for further investigation and management of the adnexal incidentaloma.
在评估已知或疑似腹部和盆腔病变的患者时,横断成像研究的应用呈爆炸式增长。这些影像学研究导致了真正的偶然发现的附件肿块的流行,无论是在肿瘤患者还是非肿瘤患者人群中,这些肿块在过去都未被发现。在本评论中,我们为进一步调查和管理附件偶发瘤提供了一些指导和实用建议。
