ABSTRACT: Background: Kariminejad and Scully reported 9 cases that were
difficult to identify outside the ovary Tumors, located in the broad ligament,
fallopian tube mesentery, and ovary, named female adnexal tumors of probable
Wolffian origin. Aim: To investigate ultrasound images with female adnexal tumors of probable
Wolffian origin (FATWOs). Case Report: We
reported ultrasound images in three women with female adnexal tumors of
probable Wolffian origin (FATWOs) with detailed discussion. Ultrasonography
showed a predominantly-solid mass with clear-cut boundary with neighboring
normal ovary at the left mesosalpinx (broad ligament) in both cases. Doppler
examination presented moderate color content in both tumors. Conclusion: Ultrasound images may provide a clue for
preoperative diagnosis of FATWOs.
