| dc.description.abstract | A prospective study to compare clinical and ultrasonographic features
as confirmed by laparotomy in patients suspected to have gynaecological
pelvic masses was done.
Ultrasound pelvic scans were performed on 350 patients.
The commonest indication for a pelvic sonographic examination at
Kenyatta National Hospital [K.N.fI.] was found to be a suspected tuboovarian
mass.
100 patients, who had further management following the results of
ultrasound examination were followed up.
Only in very few cases was the definite histological diagnosis
obtained.
Out of the 100 patients followed up and confirmed on laparotomy, 22
patients had ovarian cysts, 14 ectopic pregnancy, 8 uterine fibroids,
8 tuba-ovarian abscesses and 6 tuba-ovarian masses. | en |
