Complex adnexal mass in pregnancy: predictive value of color Doppler sonography.

We sought to establish color Doppler sonographic criteria specific to benign and malignant neoplasms in pregnant patients for parameters already reported for complex adnexal masses in nongravid patients. Thirty‐four patients with complex adnexal masses were evaluated during the second trimester with transabdominal sonography and transvaginal color Doppler sonography. The lowest pulsatility index obtained was chosen to be indicative of histologic type. A pulsatility index of less than 1.0 in a morphologically suspect area was taken to be suggestive of malignancy. Prospective diagnoses made by color Doppler sonography were compared with actual histologic diagnosis. Three malignant ovarian lesions and five tumors of low malignant potential were identified correctly, with a sensitivity of 0.89 and a mean pulsatility index of 0.71 (range, 0.44 to 1.3). The mean pulsatility index for benign masses was 1.21 (range, 0.4 to 2.8) (P = 0.03). The negative predictive value of a pulsatility index greater than 1.0 was 0.93. The positive predictive value and false‐positive rate for a pulsatility index less than 1.0, however, were 0.42 and 0.48, respectively. Low impedance was associated with malignant ovarian masses detected during pregnancy. A considerable overlap in blood flow patterns, however, may cause incorrect assignment of malignant potential to some benign lesions.
