Abstract:
Purpose To explore the value of high frequency convex ultrasound probe in the diagnosis of ovarian tumor in infants and young children. Materials and Methods Sixty-nine infants and young children with ovarian tumor were examined with high frequency convex ultrasound probe, and the ultrasound findings were analyzed. Results Out of 69 cases, 45 had tumors on the right side of ovary and the rest 24 on the left side;27 cases of simple cyst, 24 cases of benign teratoma, 9 cases of borderline teratoma, 3 cases of serous cystadenoma, 3 cases of mucous cystadenoma, 3 cases of yolk sac tumor;24 accompanied with torsion or necrosis. The ultrasound of ovarian tumor presented the following features:polycystic structures were common;the strong echo posterior acoustic shadow was not obvious; no specific manifestation was shown to distinguish benign from malignant tumors. Doppler ultrasound of tissues around the tumor was significant in detecting ovarian tumor torsion and necrosis. Conclusion High frequency convex ultrasound probe can provide clear images and distinct dissection information, which is beneficial in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ovarian tumor in infants and young children.
