<< I recently explored a 38 year old for a 10 cm. pelvic mass presenting with pelvic pain with this syndrome.

Anyone care to offer a pre-op diagnosis on the nature of this pelvic mass? >>

Well, it could be a pelvic kidney. Seems like she's got enough anatomic weirdness...

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
