Background: The present study was conducted to assess adnexal masses with Ultrasonography (USG). Materials & Methods: 85 females diagnosed with adnexal masses were subjected to ultrasound scanning of the pelvic region. Ultrasonography findings were correlated with the final diagnosis. Ultrasonography was classified as diagnostic, contributory or erroneous lesions. Results: Common lesions were benign ovarian neoplasm in 35, ectopic pregnancy in 20, functional ovarian cyst in 14, ovarian neoplasm in 10, endometriotic cyst in 4 and pelvic kidney in 2 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). On USG benign ovarian neoplasm showed 2 contributory and 1 erroneous lesion, ectopic pregnancy as 1 contributory and 1 erroneous lesion, functional ovarian cyst as 2 contributory lesions and ovarian neoplasm as 1 erroneous, endometriotic cyst as 1 contributory. Conclusion: USG found affective in assessment of adnexal masses in females. Key words: Adnexal masses, Endometriotic cyst, Ultrasonography
