Dense tissue, hypoechoic formation in the ovary

Today, tumor-like formations of the hypoechoic type in the small pelvis are common. Such problems are identified using ultrasound. It is important to diagnose the pathology as early as possible to avoid complications and complex surgical procedures.

Dense tissues in the female genital organs appear against the background of various circumstances. Influence the occurrence of hypoechoic formation,

for example, in the ovary, there may be genetic factors, unhealthy lifestyle, sexually transmitted infections, ectopic pregnancy and other internal and external factors. This type of pathology requires a serious approach and cannot be avoided without medical assistance.

How to detect a hypoechoic formation in the ovary?

Ultrasound examination is the most popular and effective method for diagnosing pelvic formations. A special sensor creates high-frequency vibrations and sends them to those body tissues that need to be examined. The sensor perceives the frequencies reflected from the organs back and displays them in the form of an image on the screen, turning them into a picture. An ultrasound examination simply resembles an echo, which is why in medical practice such diagnostics are often called echography.

A doctor can best determine a gynecological problem. Along with ultrasound, it is important to conduct a visual examination of the patient, analyze complaints and symptoms of the problem, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the woman, and it is also necessary to take into account the wave frequency of the ultrasound equipment.

Often at the end of an ultrasound diagnosis, doctors write a diagnosis associated with reduced echo density. This statement can be easily deciphered. A hypoechoic formation in the ovary or uterus looks like a dark spot on the ultrasound machine monitor, and reduced acoustic density is detected.

Areas of reduced density, hypoechoic formations

As described above, a hypoechoic formation is an area of ​​tissue into which ultrasonic frequencies penetrate more slowly than other adjacent layers of the organ under study. Most often, such structural features have liquid formations - cysts. These tumors have thin walls and fluid is visible inside.

During an ultrasound, the doctor always mentions the size of the formation, the shape of the pathological tumor and its contours. Round formations can be:

• cysts;
• if it is an ovary, then follicles;
• some types of tumors.

If the contours are uneven, then it may be a malignant tumor, fibroma, or cyst. As for the ovaries specifically, hypoechoic formations can be a follicle, vascular tissue, luteal body, cyst, and in extremely rare cases it is cancer.

When the structure of the ovary is heterogeneous, this indicates normality during reproductive age. During menopause, when sexual function fades, the ovary should have a homogeneous structure.

Women often wonder why the sonologist does not write a cyst in the diagnosis, but only mentions a hypoechoic formation? The whole point is that the diagnosis will be confirmed only if the problem is identified directly, and not indirectly, as with an ultrasound examination. Additional diagnostic procedures include: biopsy, laparoscopy or cystoscopy.

Conclusion of breast ultrasound

QUESTION: Good afternoon! According to the results of ultrasound, in the upper inner quadrant on the left at 9 o'clock, 4 cm from the nipple, there is a hypoechoic formation with a fuzzy, uneven contour of 0.9X0.7 cm, the color circulation in which blood flow is visualized. The lymph node on the left is enlarged 1.5X0.7, the contours are clear and even. According to the ultrasound, there are signs of a space-occupying lesion in the right mammary gland (SUSP?), left-sided lymphadenopathy. Doctor, is it cancer? What should I do? Where to begin? ANSWER: Hello! Possibly cancer, but perhaps not! You need to get a mammogram, contact an oncologist, and he will refer you further! Usually a biopsy is done if possible! Immunohistochemistry is done. According to ultrasound, your tumor is small, but there is an enlarged node in the armpit; sometimes such treatment begins with chemotherapy if the diagnosis is confirmed! In general, you need to be further examined and diagnosed. It can also be a benign tumor with an enlarged lymph node. We need to figure it out!

Hypoechoic formation in the mammary gland

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, what is a hypoechoic formation in the mammary gland? This is according to the description of breast ultrasound. ANSWER: Hello! This is a tumor and it is necessary to establish its nature: benign or malignant, then undergo the necessary treatment! To do this, you need to contact an oncologist.

Hypoechoic lymph node

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, in the description of the ultrasound of the mammary glands it is written that in the axillary region the lymph node is hypoechoic. What does this mean? And is there any reason to worry? Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! There is reason for concern; it needs to be verified to exclude a metastatic process!

Reactive lymph nodes

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, what are reactive lymph nodes? Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! This means that they responded to some kind of disease or infection, and are not tumorous!

Anechoic formation in the mammary gland

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, hello! What is an anechoic formation in the mammary gland? Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! It could be a cyst or other benign tumors; usually the ultrasound doctor gives an approximate conclusion about its nature!

Breast ultrasound

QUESTION: Vitaly Aleksandrovich, according to the ultrasound description, the ultrasound shows a hypoechoic formation with an acoustic shadow with uneven edges, 14X17 mm. Could this be breast cancer? Should I do a biopsy? ANSWER: Hello! It could be cancer, and if you are over 38 years old, you need to get a mammogram and contact an oncologist, he will decide on a biopsy and further treatment!

Breast ultrasound

QUESTION: Vitaly Aleksandrovich, hello! I need your advice in the chest, they found a formation with an acoustic shadow, what should I do? Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! Normally, there are no formations in the mammary gland! In your case, you described a little about this formation! In any case, you need to contact an oncologist or mammologist, and if the ultrasound was done poorly and uninformatively, then it needs to be redone in an oncological institution in order to remove all questions about the malignancy of the origin of this formation!

Fibroadenoma

QUESTION: Good evening! Vitaly Alexandrovich, what does fibroadenoma with signs of moderate atypia mean? How dangerous is this and what to do with such a diagnosis? Thanks a lot! ANSWER: Hello! This means that fibroadenoma contains cells similar to cancer, but this conclusion seems incorrect to me. In this case, I would remove this tumor, but if you really don’t want to, then first you need to do a core biopsy!

hypoechoic formation in the mammary gland

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, what is a hypoechoic formation in the mammary gland? ANSWER: Hello! A hypoechoic formation in the gland can be either benign or malignant! Most often it can be breast cancer, but many fibroadenomas are also hidden under this ultrasound picture; in any case, you need to contact an oncologist to perform additional examination methods!

signs of fcm of both mammary glands

QUESTION: Good afternoon! An ultrasound diagnosis was made on the right side: at 12 o’clock the dilation of the ducts was 6-8 mm with signs of deformation. Left: fibroadenoma 11*6 mm, symptom *rolling* clearly. Tell me what to do with this, and whether it is possible to do it eco-friendly. ANSWER: Hello! There is nothing to do about the expansion of the ducts, this is such a feature. The IVF procedure is a strong stimulation with hormones and usually before this procedure all fibroadenomas are removed, even as small as yours 11x6 mm, especially if it is superficial. I would remove it before the Eco procedure.

Ultrasound of breast cancer

QUESTION: Doctor, good afternoon. I did an ultrasound of the mammary glands and, according to the description, a hypoechoic formation with unclear edges is visualized in the upper outer quadrant! I was told that it is 100% a cyst! But I still worry. Is it possible to confuse a cyst and breast cancer on an ultrasound? Thank you very much for your work and answers. ANSWER: Hello! It is very difficult to confuse cysts and breast cancer. The ultrasound specialist specifically writes in conclusion that it is a cyst or a tumor!

Ultrasound - cyst or breast cancer

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, I read your answer in which you write that it is very difficult to confuse a cyst and a tumor on an ultrasound! I got it mixed up. I was told with 100% certainty that it was a cyst! And after 6 months, when the so-called cyst began to grow, I did a biopsy and heard the protocol diagnosis of carcinoma! Or could the cyst develop into breast cancer? Thank you! ANSWER: Hello! Most likely, it was not a cyst, but a tumor. There are also cysts with cancerous changes in the center, so we always try to operate on suspicious cysts!! Each case is individual! Also in medicine there are no clear specific indications; any research method has a percentage of error!

heterogeneous formation

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, hello. I am contacting you with the hope of understanding the results of the ultrasound. In the permanent residence, the echostructure is heterogeneous, diffuse and anechoic formations: in the NVC 8.5x5.2 mm, in the NNC up to 8.4x7.6 mm, in the VNC up to 5.4x5 mm. In the left breast, the echostructure is heterogeneous, diffuse, and anechoic formations: nvk up to 5.3 x 3.9 mm, in the vnk up to 9.4 x 4.4 mm, in nnk up to 4.1 x 3 mm and a heterogeneous ring-shaped formation at the border of the outer quadrants 8.5 x 4.9 mm with small anechoic inclusions on the periphery. Axillary lymph nodes on the right are 18x11 mm, on the left 18x7 mm, of the usual heterogeneous structure. Conclusion: Sonosigns of fcm, observation. Vitaly Alexandrovich, my question concerns a ring-shaped heterogeneous formation. What it is? The fact is that the same doctor in 2017 described its size, then it was 7.3x4.3 mm, another doctor described it on 04.2018. describes this formation as a nodular formation 8x3.7 mm, low echogenicity, with a hyperechoic center, smooth, clear contours, avascular, l/u? fibroadenoma? A trephine biopsy was performed, a fragment of breast tissue with a morphological picture of FCD and a small fragment of breast tissue. This formation is not described on mammography. I wanted to ask you if there is any reason for concern, maybe it’s worth undergoing some additional examinations, if so... which ones? Thanks in advance for your answer. Best regards, Olga. ANSWER: Hello, Olga! !These are most likely multiple small cysts on the right and left, on the left they simply describe this formation, in the center it most likely has dense contents, this happens in cysts! This doesn’t look like breast cancer, just watch it over time and do ultrasounds regularly. They write you an observation in the conclusion, which means the doctor is sure of their benign origin. For your peace of mind, you can do an MRI of the mammary glands with contrast, but this is not necessary! They are not detected on mammography and that’s good!

Formation of reduced echogenicity

QUESTION: Good afternoon! Tell me, please, what we found on the ultrasound was “a rounded formation of reduced echogenicity, its structure is close to the structures of adipose tissue, size 12.6*6.5 mm, avascular according to the central circulation, with a capsule. BI RADS 2. The ultrasound specialist said that most likely it was a fibroadenoma and nothing to worry about. But I didn’t like that the echogenicity was reduced. Please tell me what this could be? And could it be cancer? Thank you!!! ANSWER: Hello! If the ultrasound specialist said that it is a fibroadenoma or a cyst, then it is so. Breast cancer looks different. In any case, you need to observe this formation or remove it so that it does not bother you. I recommend performing a biopsy of this formation to tell what nature it is, but it is small enough and a biopsy may not work. I advise you to consult an oncologist, and he will guide you in the right direction.

Ultrasound of the mammary glands

QUESTION: Good afternoon! Did an ultrasound of the breast. In conclusion, they wrote that ECHO signs of differential FMC tissue of both mammary glands, hyperplastic lymph node in the right axillary region. Hypoechoic formation with a clear, even contour and pronounced hypervascularization, 28x11 mm. ANSWER: Hello! At first glance, nothing serious, but we need to figure it out! And in any case, this must be removed! If that's what you meant!

Ultrasound of the mammary glands

QUESTION: Good afternoon, Vitaly Alexandrovich. I will be very grateful for the answer. Mammography revealed: on the right in the outer squares (not clearly defined in the oblique projection, not visible?) an oval-shaped nodular formation, dimensions 11 * 7 mm. Macrocalcification on the left is 2 mm. On the right is a group of axillary nodes up to 7 mm. According to ultrasound, the mammary glands are symmetrical, the skin is not thickened, tissue differentiation is good. Glandular and adipose tissue is of normal structure and echogenicity, adipose tissue predominates. The retromammary space is free. the ducts are not dilated. There are no focal changes. Regional lymph nodes are not enlarged. No structural changes were detected. Please tell me whether the node needs to be removed, but how can it be determined if everything is fine on ultrasound? Thanks in advance for your answer. ANSWER: Hello! In this case, I would not remove anything and just observe in dynamics, since there are no signs of malignant growth! Most likely, this is a fibroadenoma, but it would be visible on an ultrasound, so just watch, it’s a very small formation and it could just be a lobe of the mammary gland!

Signs of breast cancer on ultrasound

QUESTION: Vitaly Alexandrovich, can you identify signs of breast cancer on ultrasound? ANSWER: Hello! I can, and an ultrasound specialist can too, but this doesn’t matter to you as a patient, what’s important to you is the doctor’s conclusion and recommendations. Signs of breast cancer on ultrasound are usually a hypoechoic formation with signs of invasive growth, according to the BIRADS classification 4 and higher.

Help me understand the ultrasound

In the upper outer square there is an area of ​​reduced echogenicity measuring up to 23 mm. Thank you in advance. ANSWER: Hello! The ultrasound conclusion is issued by the doctor who performs this study, and he should help you understand it!! Based on your description, I can only say that in this case there is nothing terrible.

Ultrasound, trephine biopsy.

QUESTION: Hello, I had an ultrasound. At the border of the outer squares, a hypoechoic formation with a clear uneven contour without visible blood flow is determined with a CDV of 10.5×7×6 mm. A year ago, the ultrasound also showed the same thing. Trephine biopsy with cytology and histology - benign fibroadenoma. I deleted it this week. When removing it, the surgeon said that it was some kind of atypical fibroadenoma, without a capsule and scar color (pink). Now I'm waiting for the biopsy results. Very worried. What it might be like. How reliable is trephine biopsy today? Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! Fibroadenomas are different and look like anything, no matter what the surgeon says, wait for the planned histology! There is no point in discussing this until there is no result of planned histology!

Consultation

QUESTION: decipher the ultrasound result: at 10 o’clock closer to the oval-shaped nipple, a structure of 23 * 13 mm with uneven clear contours and calcifications (a biopsy was taken from this formation - pericanalicular fibroadenoma), deeper than it and laterally a hypoechoic zone of 21 * 13 mm with unclear contours was located . According to the results of mammography, fibrocystic mastopathy. ANSWER: In your conclusion it is written that this is a fibroadenoma, this is a benign tumor. And you better contact your local oncologist to decide on surgery.

Breast ultrasound

QUESTION: Good afternoon, tell me that this may be in VNK at 02 o’clock. the formation is 0.6x0.4 cm horizontally oriented, the contours are smooth, clear, hypoechoic, solid structure, with CDK the blood flow is avascular, calcifications are not scanned. ANSWER: Hello! It could be anything, with this conclusion you need to contact an oncologist or mammologist to rule out a malignant nature!

QUESTION: Hello, Vitaly Alexandrovich! 10 days ago, my daughter’s ultrasound revealed fibrograndullary tissue: with a predominance of the glandular component B v/kV-rounded hypoechoic pattern with smooth contours 13mm in right m/f. Please tell me what actions we should take. Thank you in advance! ANSWER: Hello! You need to consult a mammologist! He will diagnose correctly and prescribe the necessary treatment. This could be surgery to remove the tumor before simple observation, or puncture of the cyst!

calcification

QUESTION: Good afternoon, Vitaly Alexandrovich, I had elostragrophy done, before that a month ago I had an ultrasound, there was intraductal papilloma. Today the calcification does not grow and stays there for a month, there are no changes. But I am alarmed by the words calcification. Please tell me if there is cause for concern and whether it is worth having surgery now. ANSWER: In this case, the operation is not performed; the calcification is not removed. It is necessary to observe, performing ultrasound of the mammary glands and necessarily mammography. Observation as usual.

Lipoma

QUESTION: Good afternoon! Ultrasound. The mammary glands are represented predominantly by a fatty layer with moderate fibrosis. The milk ducts are not dilated. Focal formation: on the left in the parapapillary zone in the thickness of the subcutaneous fatty tissue of increased echogenicity of an irregular shape, a formation of 11 * 6 mm (lipoma) on the right is not located. The axillary nodes on the left are 15/7 mm - unchanged, on the right 18/8 - unchanged. Supra- and infraclavicular on both sides are not located. Thanks a lot! ANSWER: Hello! In this case, an ultrasound of the mammary glands says that you have no evidence of a malignant process! You need to observe the lipoma with a mammologist at your place of residence.

Breast ultrasound

QUESTION: Hello, an ultrasound of the breast revealed a tumor that does not look like a cyst, fibroadenoma is questionable, as is nodular mastopathy. The results of the puncture: “among the erythrocytes there is an accumulation of columnar epithelium with moderate dysplasia.” The tumor increased approximately 2 times after the puncture. What could it be? Please help me decipher the puncture result. “Among the red blood cells there is an accumulation of cylindrical epithelial cells with moderate dysplasia.” ANSWER: Hello! It can be anything from a benign tumor to a malignant one. According to the biopsy, it seems that this is still a benign formation, but it is still better to finally determine what it is. Contact an oncologist at your place of residence and he will carry out all the necessary procedures, and there may even be a question about performing an operation.

Breast ultrasound

QUESTION: Hello, please tell me... An ultrasound revealed a tumor in the mammary gland measuring 1*0.8 cm, inflamed regional nodes. They took a puncture, the description was “among the erythrocytes there is an accumulation of columnar epithelial cells with moderate dysplasia.” The oncologist said the cells are dividing quickly and need to be removed urgently. What is your opinion on this matter. Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! In this case, it is necessary to perform a trephine biopsy to remove tissue from this tumor or a biopsy of a lymph node from the axillary region, if possible. If the response is benign, you just need to remove the tumor and that’s it. If the tumor turns out to be malignant, then it must be treated completely differently. I think you should communicate with your oncologist, who will choose the appropriate treatment for you.

Ultrasound of the mammary glands

QUESTION: 1st ultrasound in the upper quadrant is an isoechoic formation 8.3*4.5 mm with uneven, unclear contours, with a low-grade colorectal volume. vascularization. CONCLUSION fibroadenoma of the left breast BIRADS3. 2 Ultrasound glandular tissue with anechoic formations with clear contours and distal sound enhancement ranging in size from 3 to 10 mm in diameter in the outer quadrants. In the upper outer quadrant, a formation of reduced echogenicity is determined with clear contours measuring 8 * 4 and 7 * 5 mm, avascular with CDK, located intimately to each other, without signs of ultrasound absorption (in structure and echogenicity they correspond to lymph nodes) in the left axillary region several lymph nodes are determined with a normal echo structure and differentiation into layers with dimensions from 7*5 to 14*10 mm. CONCLUSION: sonographic signs of fibrocystic mastopathy, formations of the left breast (lymphadenomapathy?) axillary lymphadenomapathy on the left. What could it be? ANSWER: Hello! This ultrasound cannot be used to judge the problem; it is better for you to contact an oncologist for a more accurate diagnosis: You need to perform a mammo test to verify the process, otherwise this is just speculation, what it is, I think your oncologist will be able to make the correct diagnosis and, if necessary, prescribe adequate treatment!

Ultrasound of the mammary glands and diagnosis of breast cancer

QUESTION: Hello! Please help me decipher the breast ultrasound! My mother is 72 years old and has stage 1 breast cancer. ANSWER: Hello!

L/u structural on both sides. What does it mean? ANSWER: Hello! This describes the normal structure of the mammary gland, where we are talking about the blood flow of the lobule. In this study there is a conclusion, which usually says what it is about.

liquid heterogeneous formations of reduced echogenicity

QUESTION: Ultrasound conclusion: In the right and left mammary glands in the subareolar areas (mainly in the right mammary gland, voluminous liquid heterogeneous formations of reduced echogenicity with clear contours, avascular 13x13mm, 8mm,7mm,6mm are determined. What can this be? ANSWER: These can be multiple breast cysts and they are not dangerous.

Cyst, fibroadenoma or breast cancer?

QUESTION: Hello! I had a mammary ultrasound and these were the results. How dangerous is this and what could happen? The structure of the mammary glands is dominated by glandular tissue with moderate diffuse fibrosis, with moderately pronounced phenomena of fatty transformation. The parenchyma layer is 11 cm, with increased echogenicity. The milk ducts are not dilated. In the left breast cancer at the base, a hypoechoic formation with smooth, partially unclear contours 23*17*19 is determined, heterogeneous in structure with an anechoic inclusion of irregular shape in the center, with blood flow loci. The nodes are not enlarged. During the ultrasound, they took a biopsy of the liquid from the anechoic inclusion; it was clear how it had collapsed. Is there a cyst, fibroadenoma or cancer, please tell me... Thank you. ANSWER: Hello! In this case, there is more evidence for a cyst with dense contents, but it is still better to contact an oncologist to perform additional examination procedures.

Is it really cancer?

QUESTION: Examination: Acoustic access without features. Mammary glands D=S. Tissue differentiation is good. The glandular tissue does not correspond to the morphotype: it is presented in the form of a hyperplastic layer, thickened to 16 mm, with significantly increased echogenicity against the background of multiple fatty lobules. The structure of the glandular tissue is clearly heterogeneous with fragments of lobular hyperplasia with an enrichment of the ductal system. In the permanent breast, on the periphery of the parenchyma, at the border of the outer quadrants, hypoechoic tissue with an accumulation of calcifications is located Inside, with fuzzy uneven contours, a vertically oriented formation measuring 17x15 mm D. In the Color Doppler mode, vascular signals are not recorded inside. The milk ducts have a tortuous course, are condensed, the contours are uneven, and are not expanded.
