Sažetak
Introduction. Transvaginal color and pulsed Doppler can detect areas of neovascularization within the tubal carcinoma and can distinguish it from other benign adnexal pathology. Subjects and methods. During a 7-year period eight cases of Fallopian tube carcinoma were detected using transvaginal color and pulsed Doppler. Resulds. Transvaginal sonography revealed complex, saousageshaped, and/or cystic structures in the adnexal region. Additional color and Doppler examination depicted low vascular impedance (RI ranged from 0.29 to 0.40) Histopathology reported different types of Fallopian tube carcinoma. Conclusion. Transvaginal color Doppler may aid in diagnosis of Fallopian tube malignancy more reliably than using other costly diagnostic procedures.
