title: [Early diagnosis of malignant tumors of the the ovary using ultrasound].
abstract: On Gynecology-Obstetric Clinic in Sarajevo in 100 women, aged 22-80, was made the indication for laparotomy because of the changes on ovaries and it was done according to the palpatory, ultrasound and laparoscopic examination. After the operative treatment and pathologic verification from the 100 studied tumors were found 15 (15%) carcinous cystadenoma, 2 (2%) mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, 25 (25%) serous cystadenoma, 10 (10%) serous cystadenocarcinoma, 10 (10%) adenocarcinoma, 23 (23%) teratoma and 13 (13%) tumors of the other kind, 25 (25%) of tumors were malign and 75 (75%) was benign. The predicted value of the ultrasoundly proved malignity was 80% (20 from 25 patients) and for the benign tumors it was 96% (72 from 75 patients). Malignant tumor of ovary is the third most common malignant disease of genital organs of a woman and at the same time the most often cause of death of women suffering from gynecologic malignant diseases. From all kinds of gynecologic malignant tumors 25% are carcinoma of ovaries. It is the cause of death in 47% women with the malignant diseases of genital organs. The bad prognosis of this tumor is mostly caused by the late diagnosis. Patients most often do not feel any disturbances until the illness comes to the phase of methastase and the most of patients (60-70%) at the time of diagnosis is already in the III or IV stage of illness.
