[Role of echography in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors].
The role of sonography is evaluated in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Real-time US proves more sensitive than gynecological examination in the diagnosis of ovarian diseases. As yet, however, no correlation has been found between histological findings and US appearance. An accurate review of the relative literature and of our results lead us to the conclusion that sonography does not significantly affect the early diagnosis of ovarian tumors.
