︎Hemorrhage cyst:
Ultrasonographic Findings:
•Three Patterns:
  1- Reticular pattern(Lacy, weblike): Fibrin strand multiple enumerable discontinues.
  2- Fluid level ē dependant echogenic material.
  3- Clot retraction.
•No internal vascularity.
•Ring of fire sign: surrounding ring of vascularity.
•Follow up: Resolved or at least temporary change.

If less than 3cm don't mention it in report but in our contrary mention it.
If large cyst that can't be viewed in one view in ultrasound,consider CT or MRI to see entire cyst to exclude any thing like mural nodule that made it cystic neoplasm.
In female pelvic ultrasound when you found cystic lesion, you must be identifie the bladder first to avoiding mistakes.

︎ Endometrioma (chocolate cyst):
(The only difference between the simple cyst and endometrioma is that the cyst in simple cyst is anechoic but in endometrioma is homogeneous gray pattern (ground glass appearance)

Ultrasonographic Findings:
- Hypoechoic (gray color).
- Internal echoes.
- Clot retraction.
- Fluid level.
- Echogenic foci in peripheral ē comt tail artifact(Pathognomic).

25% Bilateral
1-2% risk of malignancy.

︎ Pertioneal inclusion cyst:
(A large, irregular or ovoid, echolucent cyst with fine internal septations surrounds a normal-appearing ovary. The ovary is often in the center of the inclusion cyst give spider in web appearance)

Ultrasonographic Findings:
- Unilocular or multilocular pelvic cystic structure ē internal echoes.
- Boundaries defined by pelvic structures.
- Normal ovary surrounded or displaced by fluid and septations.
- Septations connect to ovary.
- Fine septations most common.
- Thick septations with nodules possible.
- Entrapped ovary: "Spider in web" appearance.
- Cogwheel sign: nodular mesothelial tissue can project within the lumen, creating a classic cogwheel appearance

Hx of surgery, or PID.
Developing of PIC is due to pertioneal adhesion ē exudative ovary.

︎Polycystic Ovary (PCO):
Ultrasonographic Findings:
- Enlarged ovary volume >10ml
- Multiple peripheral follicles (string-of-pearls appearance).
- Equal or more than 20 in number.
- Each follicle <10mm.
- Echogenic center of ovary.

︎Rotterdam criteria of PCOS (2018):
At least tow of the following:
- Oligoovulation and/or anovulation
- Hyperandrogenism(clinical features or lab)
- Enlarged and/or polycystic ovary on US:
  • Ovarian volume ≥ 10 mL
  • AND/OR the presence of multiple cystic follicles measuring 2–9 mm in one or both.
  • Number of follicles equal or > 20.

◽️Ovarian torsion:
( Hypoechoic heterogeneous echotexture ovary ē peripheral displaced follicles, congestion, increased echogenicity of stromal tissue, and thickened fat adjacent to ovary).

Ultrasonographic Findings:
︎Nonspecific sign:
- Enlarged ovary.
- Abnormal located.
- Hypoechoic heterogeneous echotexture.
- Ovarian cyst/lesion ( incidence of torsion).
- Periovarian fluid collection (87%).
- Peripheral displaced follicles.
︎Specific signs(clue signs):
- Abnormal Doppler (No vascularity).
- Whirlpool sign of pedicle (twisted pedicle).
- Follicular ring sign: echogenicity of follicles margins.

Torsion can occur in any age.
If we found hypervascularized in color doppler, it will be ovaritis or de-torsion.
Dermoid has more chance to do torsion than endometrioma because in endometrioma there's adhesion to surrounding structures.
Most common lesion lead to torsion is dermoid, hemorrhagic cyst, and cystic neoplasm, when their size is more than 5cm.

︎Paraovarian cyst:
- Location:near the ovary,but separate from it.
- Shape: Round or oval.
- Margins: Thin and well-defined.
- Internal echoes: Usually anechoic (fluid-filled) or may contain few internal echoes.
- Mobility: Moves independently of the ovary when pressure is applied with the transducer.
-Simple cyst.

It's hormonally unresponsive, so it's not resolve ē follow-up.

︎Benign jugular phlebectasia:
- Anechoic or hypoechoic: The vein appears filled with fluid and shows little to no internal echoes, similar to an anechoic structure or with slightly more internal echoes (hypoechoic) compared to surrounding tissue.
- Increased compressibility: The vein collapses easily when pressure is applied with the ultrasound transducer.

Hx:
- In children.
- Intermittent neck swelling.
- Not prominent during rest.
- ē Valsalva maneuver: show significant enlargement of the internal jugular vein..

Mostly Resolved in age 7 year.
