Adnexal mass lesions are common among women of all age groups and very common among the reproductive age group. Adnexal masses are usually identified either through clinical examination or through USG examination of the pelvis for symptoms caused by the mass or incidentally. USG is typically the first study to be requested in patients with clinical findings that may suggest pelvic disease. Adnexal masses pose a special dilemma to the attending gynaecologist because the differential diagnosis is often difficult and complex. With recent advances in the field of magnetic resonance imaging, MRI has become an important modality on the evaluation of a female pelvis. This study included 40 patients who were diagnosed with adnexal mass on USG and later underwent MRI which helps in providing definitive diagnosis with its superior soft tissue characterization, larger field of view and direct multiplanar capabilities.
