Adnexal tumors are benign in most cases and malignant ones are rare.
Adnexal tumors are relatively common tumors in women and are classified as benign and malignant. If the adnexal tumor has existed for a long time without any uncomfortable symptoms and grows slowly, and the adnexal tumor is small in size and clear in the boundary through gynecological ultrasound, and there is no enlarged lymph nodes and the mobility of the mass is good, then the possibility of benign is relatively high.
However, if the adnexal tumor grows faster and the mass is larger, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, unclear border, poor mobility, enlarged lymph nodes, increased tumor markers, and weight loss within a short period of time, it is usually malignant.
When women have adnexal tumors, they can be clearly diagnosed by gynecological ultrasound, CT and tumor markers. If the tumor is benign, it can be removed by surgery; if it is malignant, it can also be removed by surgery with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
