Report:

 

Anteverted  uterus  is  noted  which  appears  normal  in  size,
outline  and  echogenicity.

The  endometrium  appears  thin  and  regular  measuring  6mm  AP
(LMP:  on  menses).
The  right  ovary  appears  normal.

The  left  ovary  is  bulky  measuring  a  volume  of  approx  24cc
(44  x  28  x  39mm)  which  is  due  to  a  fairly  well  defined
heterogenous  mass  on  the  ovary  which  measures  37  x  22  x
30mm.  Within  this  mass  there  are  small  cystic  areas  that
cause  some  distal  enhancement  but  the  mass  itself  generally
castes  a  strong  distal  shadow.  Appearances  suggest  a  dermoid
type  lesion  which  is  mostly  solid  although  bowel 
contents/artifacting or other pathology can  not  be  completely  excluded.
