hello!

I have a patient at 34 weeks gestation, with a female fetus that has an abdominal round mass. One month ago (first time seen by me) it was anechogenic and about 50 mm; after 2 weeks it was already 62mm, and now (other 2 weeks) 71mm and heterogenous. It is also associated with polyhydramnios (Phellan index 250). Questions: - is there a way to differentiate between ovarian and mesenteric cysts? (i.e., size, changing aspect, polyhydramnios, etc) - what are the factors deciding the delivery?

Thank you,

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.
