Ultrasound inconclusive, recommend CT. Ct inconclusive, recommend MRI. Unfortunately for her, her ovaries were both normal by ultrasound, CT and MRI. The urologist and I are operating this week, still not exactly sure what we are dealing with. Anyone ever seen a paratubal cyst be that large? It is complete simple and fluid filled. Glen I had a 30 cm paratubal cyst that the 17y/o girl was sent to the doctor from school because she was "obviously pregnant". It was a fluid filled mass on CT origin unknown. The preop diff was ovarian origin of mesneteric cyst. I drained two liters of fluid in the or with a 14G needle and suction then removed it laparoscopically Brick Bills MD Atlanta GA

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.
