Just diagnosed with fibroids and 'adnexal mass' requiring further evaluation...

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

I have just today received the results of my ultrasound, which states

the following:

" The uterus is bulky and anteverted. Uterine dimensions 11.0 X 6.2 X

6.3cm. Multiple small fibroids are present numbering at least 4 and

the larger on the left side of the fundus and in the left side of the

body and both measuring 2.1cm. Very little normal myometrium seen.

The endometrial echo is of normal thickness measuring 8mm.

A large complex mass is demonstrated in the left adnexal region

extending out of the pelvis. This mass has dimensions of 11.3 X 11.1

X 10.8cm. It is of mixed solid echoes but fairly well defined with an

apparent capsule. The appearance likely to be left ovarian in

origin. Correlation with pelvic CT scan advised.

COMMENT: Bulky fibroid uterus. Large complex left adnexal mass

requiring further evaluation. "

I understand that, since I am approaching menopause (or may have

already begun, depending on whether the 'left adnexal mass' is

responsible for recent changes or not), the fibroids are probably the

least of my worries. But I'm wondering about the comment " Very

little normal myometrium is seen. " What does that mean? Any help in

translating this report would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
