Incidental Ovarian and Uterine Findings on Cross-sectional Imaging.

Incidental adnexal masses and uterine findings occur with a high frequency on cross-sectional imaging examinations, particularly in postmenopausal women in whom imaging is performed for a different reason. These incidentalomas encompass a gamut of potential pelvic gynecologic disorders. Most are benign ovarian cysts; however, other less commonly encountered disorders and improperly positioned gynecologic devices may be seen. A knowledge of the management recommendations for such pelvic incidental findings is critical to avoid unnecessary imaging and surgical interventions, as well as to avoid failure in diagnosis and management of some of these conditions.
