Abstract

Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma is a benign tumor that arises from the surface epithelium of the ovary. We present a case of a bilateral mucinous adenoma in a 19 years old patient. The 2D ultrasound was used in combination with 3D and HD live images. The preoperative diagnosis according to ultrasound images was mucinous adenoma and the pathological report after surgery confirmed it. HD live is a novative ultrasound software which can improve the diagnosis.
