Abstract
Aims & Objectives- To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MDCT to differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian masses and to compare the ndings with cytohistopathological results. Material & Methods- This prospective observational study was conducted at SRMS, Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly from November 2019 to April 2021. CT imaging ndings of 50 patients with ovarian masses diagnosed clinically or on pelvic sonography were compared with cyto-histopathological results. Ovarian masses were classied as benign or malignant based on scan ndings. Sensitivity, specicity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy of MDCT were calculated. 50 c Results- ases were evaluated by computed tomography, total 60 lesions were found (10 bilateral / 50 unilateral). On the basis of computed tomography 28 patients were found to have benign ovarian lesions whereas malignant ovarian lesions were present in 22 patients. Cyto/histopathological correlation revealed benign lesions in 30 patients and malignant lesions in 20 patients. The sensitivity, specicity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy of Computed Tomography was found to be 90.0%, 86.6%, 89%, 85% and 90.0%. MDCT imaging offers a safe, accurate and non-invasive modality tdif Conclusion- ferentiate between benign and malignant ovarian masses.
