What can you opine from these images? This is a young lady with pelvic pain. These are transabdominal ultrasound images. Transvaginal images will follow: What is that in the right adnexal region (right of the uterus.. on the left side of the image): This was the main finding---  And what is that in front of the body of uterus? Do you see some cystic lesions there? (an incidental finding):  Power Doppler ultrasound image below: same region as previous image:  |

The radar screen shows a whale is about to hit the boat from underneath. Could it be that big white one again? As a sailor, I would be getting the rubber ducky ready and start looking for my life jacket.

Ok, not a whale. How about a Manta ray or a sunfish? Please put me out of my misery, Joe. you know for us non-sonographers, sound waves look like radar and I would prefer radar any day. I can use CT scans but to me a sonar is something dynamic like the ping ping on a submarine. Looks a but faecal to me.

OK...I will reduce your misery of you two (non sonologist) mortals..he he... it is a solid mass to the right of the uterus....do you see that white rim along the solid mass? What can cause this in a middle aged female?.. Think think.. then I shall proceed to solve the rest of the mystery... Here is the Transvaginal scan image   What can be the cause of increased density along the rim of a solid mass near the uterus...ok. . this deposit is hyperdense on CT (and hyperechoic on Ultrasound).... |

How about either a calcified sunfish as it has been there a long enough for dystrophic calcification, an aneurysm of the internal iliac or one of those red things in the pelvis or calcified Chaga's disease in a Peruvian guinea pig. Please put us out of our misery as I am in the rubber ducky now with Yoram with life jackets on and looking at fins circling our boat.
