The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a panel of specialists from gynecology, radiology, and pathology to arrive at a consensus regarding the management of ovarian and other adnexal cysts imaged sonographically in asymptomatic women. The panel met in Chicago, Ill, on October 27-28, 2009, and drafted this consensus statement. The recommendations in this statement are based on analysis of current literature and common practice strategies, and are thought to represent a reasonable…

Management of Incidental Adnexal Findings on CT and MRI: A White Paper of the ACR Incidental Findings Committee.
Clinically suspected adnexal mass.
TLDR
These criteria, used to evaluate the suspected adnexal mass in this issue of Ultrasound Quarterly, are based on an evidence-based literature review and recommendations presented by a team of experts involved in gynecologic imaging.
Recommendations for Adnexal Cysts: Have the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound Consensus Conference Guidelines Affected Utilization of Ultrasound?
TLDR
Use of the SRU guidelines on the management of adnexal cysts has, in practice, dramatically decreased radiologist recommendations for follow-up of benign appearing cysts.
Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting Lexicon for Ultrasound: A White Paper of the ACR Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Committee.
Contemporary Guidelines for Adnexal Mass Imaging: A 2020 Update
TLDR
The purpose of this article is to offer a concise review of four recent publications: ACR 2020 update on the management of incidental adnexal findings on CT and MRI, SRU 2019 consensus update on simpleAdnexal cysts, O-RADS ultrasound risk stratification system (2020), and O- RADS MRI risk stratified system ( 2020.
Follow-Up of Abnormal Pelvic Ultrasound
TLDR
This chapter details the recommended follow-up of asymptomatic ovarian and other adnexal cysts as outlined by the SRU (Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound) consensus guidelines in 2010.
First International Consensus Report on Adnexal Masses: Management Recommendations
  • P. Glanc, B. Benacerraf, S. Goldstein
  • Medicine
    Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
  • 2017
TLDR
The panel concluded that patients would benefit not only from a more conservative approach to many benign adnexal masses but also from optimization of physician referral patterns to a gynecologic oncologist in cases of suspected ovarian malignancies.
US of incidental adnexal cysts: adherence of radiologists to the 2010 Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound guidelines.
TLDR
Adherence to SRU guidelines for management of adnexal cysts at the authors' institution was 59%, and overmanagement generally occurred for physiologic cysts in premenopausal patients; undermanagement was observed for simple cyst in post menopausal patients.
The adnexal incidentaloma: a practical approach to management
  • J. Spencer, R. Gore
  • Medicine
    Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society
  • 2011
TLDR
In this commentary, some guidance and practical advice is provided for further investigation and management of the adnexal incidentaloma.
Benign-appearing Incidental Adnexal Cysts at US, CT, and MRI: Putting the ACR, O-RADS, and SRU Guidelines All Together.
TLDR
Day-to-day practice guidelines were recently updated to reflect the overwhelming evidence that incidental cystic adnexal masses are almost always benign and to limit unnecessary imaging follow-up and, by doing so, save the patient time, money, and anxiety.

Validation of Referral Guidelines for Women With Pelvic Masses
TLDR
The SGO and ACOG referral guidelines effectively separate women with pelvic masses into 2 risk categories for malignancy, which permits a rational approach for referring high-risk patients to a gynecologic oncologist for management.

Transvaginal Sonographic Characterization of Ovarian Disease: Evaluation of a New Scoring System to Predict Ovarian Malignancy
TLDR
The scoring system devised was useful in distinguishing benign from malignant masses, with a specificity of 83%, sensitivity, and positive and negative predictive values of 37 and 100%, respectively.
Preoperative assessment of unilocular adnexal cysts by transvaginal ultrasonography: a comparison between ultrasonographic morphologic imaging and histopathologic diagnosis.
TLDR
Serial ultrasonographic follow-up should be the standard procedure with unilocular echo-free cysts <50 mm in diameter, in cysts with a mean diameter of >50 mm, papillary formations or solid parts may be missed by transvaginal ultrasonography.

Is expectant management of sonographically benign adnexal cysts an option in selected asymptomatic premenopausal women?
TLDR
Most sonographically benign ovarian cysts remain unchanged during long-term follow-up, which would support conservative management in cases of selected asymptomatic premenopausal women.
Terms, definitions and measurements to describe the sonographic features of adnexal tumors: a consensus opinion from the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group
TLDR
The steering committee for the study held special meetings to discuss the problems of standardization and to formulate terms and procedures to derive morphologic end- points by Bmode imaging and end-points of vascularity and blood flow by color Doppler imaging.
Role of Transvaginal Sonography in the Diagnosis of Peritoneal Inclusion Cysts
TLDR
Investigation of the accuracy of B‐mode transvaginal sonography alone and combined with color Doppler imaging and cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) plasma concentrations in differentiating peritoneal cysts from other adnexal masses found it to be a useful method for detection of peritoneAL cysts.
