These appearances are typical of mucinous cystadenoma of the right ovary. Researchers are investigating whether transvaginal ultrasound may be effective at screening women who are at high risk of ovarian cancer but who do not have any symptoms of the disease. Some authors have also proposed morphologic scoring systems. However improvements in identification of women at high risk for ovarian cancer as well as improved imaging techniques have increased the likelihood of early detection.

In size and part of it shows coarse particulate matter producing fine echoes within the fluid. It can even see inside the ovaries.
