Overview
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is poor at detecting peritoneal implants and it is better at detecting endometriomas
they are typically unilocular, but may be multilocular, containing thin or thick septations
may be multiple
may contain mural nodules (a finding also found in ovarian neoplasms)
if these mural nodules are hyperechoic, these have a high predictive value for endometrioma over non-endometrial lesions 22
colour Doppler: no internal vascularity
as opposed to many other ovarian cysts, endometriomas do not resolve
