Abstract
BACKGROUND: Our objective is to present our first experience of adnexal tumors reconstructed employing the HDlive rendering mode. METHODS: Seven adnexal tumors (one case each of chocolate cyst, benign cystic teratoma, serous cystadenofibroma, and torsion of the hydrosalpinx, and three cases of ovarian cancer) were studied using the HDlive rendering mode. RESULTS: In the case of the chocolate cyst, the smooth inner wall with numerous tiny projections was clearly identified. In the case of benign cystic teratoma, a smooth hair ball inside the cyst was evident. In the case of the serous cystadenofibroma, a smooth, solid projection and relatively smooth septum were noted. In the three cases of ovarian cancer, numerous irregular papillae and irregular, thick septae were depicted. In the case of the bilateral hydrosalpinx with torsion of the right tube, different fluid contents were recognized. CONCLUSION: The HDlive rendering mode provides anatomically realistic features such as macroscopic specimens for physicians and pathologists due to the complete depiction of the inner surface of the adnexal tumors.
