RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE OVARIAN DERMOIDS VIA RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION: A CLINICAL STUDY

Abstract

Background: Of all ovarian neoplasms, ovarian dermoids account for around 15% to 20% of cases. Females in the
reproductive age range, particularly in their second and third decades of life, are prone to ovarian dermoid. Ovarian
dermoid tumors are slow-growing growth tumors made up of different components from different levels of germ cells.
Ultrasonography, or USG, is typically used to identify ovarian dermoid; MRI and CT scans provide a more thorough
evaluation.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess ovarian cancers radiographically using imaging data from various
radiological modalities.
Methods: MRI, CT, or USG diagnoses of ovarian dermoid patients were made by the institute's Department of
Radiodiagnosis. A minimum of two highly qualified radiologists evaluated the imaging data. The collected data were
evaluated statistically in order to formulate the results.
Results: Of the 20 study participants, 62.5% (n = 20) had right side ovarian dermoids, 25% (n = 8) had left side, and
12.5% (n = 4) had bilateral ovarian dermoids. In 65.62% (n=21) of the study patients, the lesion size was 6-10 cm. In
15.62% (n=5) of the study subjects, it was 0-5 cm, and in 12.5% (n=4) of the study subjects, it was 11-15 cm. Three
percent (n = 1) of the study subjects had lesions measuring between 15-20 and 25 cm. Of the study individuals,
40.62% (n=13) underwent ultrasonography, 15.62% (n=5) underwent CT, and 12.5% (n=4) underwent MRI. The
study patients who underwent ultrasonography with computed tomography were 25% (n=8), those who underwent
ultrasonography with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were 3.12% (n=1), and those who underwent CT with MRI
were also 3.12% (n=1), respectively.
Conclusion: The current study shows that ovarian dermoid can be easily detected by ultrasonography; however,
instances involving problems should be evaluated further using MRI or CT.
