Overview
Abdominal ultrasound in a patient with endometriosis is helpful in differentiating endometriosis from other cystic abnormalities. The endometrial lesions have increased vascularity and will demonstrate increased Doppler flow. Transvaginal ultrasound is more sensitive.
Ultrasound
- Abdominal ultrasound is helpful in differentiating endometriosis from other cystic abnormalities. The endometrial lesions have increased vascularity and will demonstrate increased Doppler flow.[1]
- Transvaginal ultrasound is useful in the detection of deeply seated endometriosis and rectosigmoid endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound is more sensitive than abdominal ultrasound.[2]
- Key features of endometrioma are typically unilocular cysts but may be multilocular, containing thin or thick septations.
- Ultrasound may show mural nodules in the case of endometriosis. If these mural nodules are hyperechoic, these have a high predictive value for endometrioma over non-endometrial cancer.
