Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Dark Shadow On An Ultrasound Report Suggest?
I recently had an ultrasound because of light post menopausal spotting. I am 67 years old, two live births, one miscarriage. The uterus was small and the ovaries could not be seen. But near where one of the ovaries should have been was a 10 cm dark shadow. A PET scan is to be scheduled soon. I am otherwise very healthy and active. Should I be be worried?

What Does Dark Shadow On An Ultrasound Report Suggest?
Hi, As anticipated, ovaries are atrophied at this age. The nature of the dark shadow would get ascertained by PET scan or you may need a laparoscopy. It might be a benign growth, fluid-filled cyst, post caesarian adhesions or enlarged lymph nodes. It also needs evaluation to rule out malignancy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
