Ovarian endometrioma is defined as a pseudocyst arising from gorwth of ectopic endometrial tissue. The typical features of endometriomas are diffuse low-level internal echoes ("ground glass") in the absence of particular neoplastic features and with a clear demarcation from ovarian parenchyma. Several studies report very high values of specificity with values of sensitivity usually ranging from 87 to 77%.

Abstract
Ovarian endometrioma is defined as a pseudocyst arising from gorwth of ectopic endometrial tissue. The typical features of endometriomas are diffuse low-level internal echoes ("ground glass") in the absence of particular neoplastic features and with a clear demarcation from ovarian parenchyma. Several studies report very high values of specificity with values of sensitivity usually ranging from 87 to 77%.
