uterine surgeries such as cesarean section

uterine dehiscence is caused by:

are the most common tumor of the female pelvis

leiomyomas:

outgrow their blood supply

degenerative changes occur when myomas:

demonstrates myomatous extension onto the endometrium through visualizing filling defects

sonohysterography (SHSG):

endovaginal sonography

Imaging identification of a previous cesarean section scar can be performed most effectively by:

monitoring the suspect area for peristalsis

differentiating a pelvic mass from bowel may be done by:

share sonographic characteristics of cystic structures with septations

lymphoceles, uromas, hematomas, and abscesses:

intramural

a fibromyoma located within the myometrium is labeled:

Gartner duct cyst

anechoic or complex lesions of the superior anterolateral vagina wall (adjacent to the cervix) are:

homogenously increased echogenicity

select the sonographic criteria most likely not related to benign ovarian cysts:

corpus luteum cysts

the “ring of fire” demonstrated peripherally when imaging a cyst with color or power Doppler is related to:

generally similar, therefore, may be difficult to diagnose from imaging

sonographic findings in serous cystadenoma compared to mucinous cystadenoma are:

absecess

gonadoblastoma tumors will not cause:

ascites, pleural effusion, and an ovarian neoplasm

Meigs syndrome presents as:

ovarian remnant syndrome

bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by restored function of remnant ovarian tissue

less than 2.2 cm

a posthysterectomy AP vaginal cuff should measure

benign

a cystadenoma is a _____________ tumor originating in glandular tissue

adnexa

paraovarian cysts arise from the:
