title: Ovarian tumours, their characterisation and origins and ovarian screening.
abstract: Ultrasound assessment of ovarian tumours cannot accurately predict pathology. Recent reviews suggest that the source of many epithelial ovarian carcinomas may be the distal fallopian tube. Further study of the natural history of these tubal lesions is required before resuming ovarian screening.
