Ovarian Tumor Overview Past § 1980’s “palpable ovary syndrome” § 2000’s observation of unilocular cysts § 2010’s observation of septate cysts Present § 10% of women undergo surgery for adnexal mass in their lifetime 1 § 13%-21% of these masses are malignant 2 1) Moore, Mc.

IOTA Simple Rules ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ M 1 Irregular solid M 2 Presence of ascites M 3 At least 4 papillary projections M 4 Irregular multilocular solid, largest diameter ≥ 10 cm M 5 Very strong blood flow B 1 Unilocular B 2 Solid component < 7 mm B 3 Presence of acoustic shadows B 4 Smooth multilocular tumor, largest diameter < 10 cm B 5 No blood flow Timmerman et al.

Simple Rules Malignant If one or more M-rules apply in the absence of a B-rule, the mass is classified as malignant Benign If one or more B-rules apply in the absence of an M-rule, the mass is classified as benign. Indeterminate If both M-rules and B-rules apply, the mass cannot be classified. If no rule applies, the mass cannot be classified Timmerman et al.

Summary 1. Ultrasound is the preferred test to evaluate an ovarian tumor 2. Risk of malignancy § Low: monitor without surgery o 6 months, then annually for 5 years § Indeterminate: secondary testing o Serial ultrasound o Biomarker testing (OVA 1, ROMA, Overa) § High: surgery o Refer to a Gynecologic Oncologist 35
