Echopatterns of the ovarian dermoid tumor.
The authors report the ovarian dermoid echopatterns observed in 189 cases. The ultrasonic key of the diagnosis is a particular "pearly-gray" colour. The early diagnosis by USG gives the Gynecologist some advantages in: a) avoiding the operation in those cases of small mass; b) making a pfammenstiel incision in the surgical operation; c) trying a conservative surgery.
