The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of trans-abdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine mass. To evaluate the accuracy of trans-abdominal sonography (TAS) and trans vaginal ultrasonography (TVS) for the diagnosis of uterine mass. A total of 81 cases were evaluated. Majority of uterine masses were leiomyomas (56.79%). In the present study TASand TVS detected leiomyoma 42 and 44; Endometrial carcinoma 2 and 3; Endometrial polyp 3 and 5; Molar pregnancy 12 and 12; invasive Mole 4 and 4; Carcinoma cervix 5and 5 cases respectively. In present study the number of Benign mass was67 (82.72%) and Malignant mass14 (17.28%). The incidence of uterine mass was highest in parous woman (60.5%).The sensitivity and accuracy of both TAS and TVS in the diagnosis of molar pregnancy was 100%. Overall, TVS is found to be superior to TAS in the diagnosis of uterine mass.Downloads
