KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Clinical Implications

      TERMINOLOGY

      • Background

        • Definitions and algorithms are generated from 2020 American College of Radiology (ACR) White Paper for management of incidental adnexal findings on CT or MR
          • Contains updates to 2013 version
        • Algorithms for incidental cysts detected on ultrasound originate from 2019 Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) consensus update for follow-up and reporting for simple adnexal cysts

      • Definitions

        • Simple cyst: Sonographically characterized
          • Round/oval lesion
          • Smooth, thin walls
          • No solid component or septation
          • No internal blood flow
        • Simple-appearing cyst: CT/MR terminology
          • Round/oval lesion
          • Fluid attenuation (-10 to 20 HU)
          • MR fluid signal (T2 hyperintense, T1 hypointense)
          • Smooth, imperceptible or thin wall
          • No enhancement
