PEREIRA, Joana Lopes; PEREIRA, Maria Júlia  and  MORIM, Manuel. Adnexal masses: a true challenge. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.3, pp.236-237. ISSN 1646-5830.

Preoperative diagnosis of adnexal masses is still one of the greatest challenges for gynaecologists. Even though the majority of adnexal neoformations are benign, a careful evaluation to exclude malignancy is mandatory. The rapid evolution in the field of ultrasonography increased diagnostic accuracy and magnetic resonance imaging provides a valid contribution, but still, sometimes, the distinction between malignant and benign is difficult. We report a case of a premenopausal women who presented with a large and painful abdominal mass four months after an emergent caesarean delivery.
