Management of a pelvic mass

Timothy Jake Duncan BM BS BMedSci MRCOG Department of Gynaecological Oncology, Nottingham City Hospital, Hucknall Road, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK

Abstract 

Pelvic masses are a common clinical presentation in gynaecology. The possible diagnoses are variable, as are the management strategies. A comprehensive knowledge of the potential aetiologies and a logical approach to history-taking, examination and investigation are essential. This problem-based review presents three case histories that illustrate the key principles in the management of a pelvic mass. The cases describe commonly encountered scenarios with an evidence-based approach to subsequent management.

Keywords: management, ovarian neoplasm, pelvic mass, pregnancy, surgery
