Recurrence of ovarian and uterine neoplasms: diagnosis with transrectal US.

Twenty-one patients with clinically suspected recurrence of ovarian (n = 3) or uterine (n = 18) carcinoma were examined with suprapubic ultrasound (US) and transrectal US with high-frequency linear probes. The examinations were performed 3, 6, 9, and 15 months after surgery and radiation therapy. Eight patients underwent radiation therapy before surgery and ten after surgery; three underwent only surgery. Criteria for recurrence included increased anteroposterior diameter of the vaginal cuff (greater than 2.2 cm); structural alterations or presence of a mass in the vaginal cuff; and infiltration of the rectovaginal septum, bladder, and parametria. Transrectal US findings were true positive for recurrence in nine cases, true negative in ten, and false positive in two. US findings were true positive in three cases, true negative in seven, false positive in two, and false negative in three. In six cases results from US were technically poor, and no diagnosis could be made. Transrectal US was highly sensitive in detection of pelvic recurrent carcinomas, while US had little diagnostic value. The authors believe transrectal US can replace US in the evaluation of patients at risk for recurrent pelvic neoplasm.
