The goal of this prospective study was to develop a new scoring system using transvaginal color and pulsed Doppler characterization of ovarian lesions. Transvaginal color Doppler sonography was performed on 812 women, among whom 174 adnexal masses were found and analyzed. Ovarian lesions were assessed by means of morphological and color Doppler scoring systems. Tumors were characterized ultrasonically as benign or suspected of being malignant. Scoring system results were correlated with histopathological findings. Among our study group, 38 malignant and 136 benign ovarian tumors were found and verified. The color Doppler scoring system was very useful in distinguishing benign from malignant masses, with a sensitivity of 97.3% and a specificity of 100%, compared with the morphological scoring system's sensitivity of 92.1% and specificity of 94.8%. We also evaluated a combination of both scoring systems. We believe that new color Doppler scoring system maximizes the ability to discriminate between benign and malignant entities.
