The report really matters Is it benign or malignant? Simple cyst Complex cyst Can we do be tt er?
By the end of this presentation you will be able to report this! Ho w to report this abnormality?

Ovarian pathology Classification system for ovarian pathology Standardization of terminology – IOTA IOTA Simpl e Descriptor s (pattern recognition) Prediction of malignancy – IOTA Simple Rules Worked examples
Simple Rules FEATURES of a benign mass (B-features ) A mass is classified as benign if at least one B-feature is present and no M-features are present \
FEATURES of a malignant mass (M featur e s) A mass is classified as malignant if at least one M-feature is present and no B-features are present
Simple Rules Rule 1: If one or more M features are present in absence of B feature(s), the mass is classified as malignant. • Rule 2: If one or more B features are present in absence of M feature(s), the mass is classified as benign. • Rule 3: If both M features and B features are present, or if no B or M features are present, the result is inconclusive and a second stage test is recommended.

Serous cystadenofibroma
Ovarian Fibroma most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation. As such, they may appear similar to a pedunculated subserosal uterine fibroid
