Knowledge of the nature of ovarian lesions is important in order to establish the correct treatment and, especially, to detect ovarian cysts that do not require surgical treatment. With the purpose of demonstrating the utility of transvaginal sonography with colour Doppler of ovarian functional ovarian cysts, 378 ovarian tumours were studied, comparing sonographic diagnosis with pathological findings. Sensitivity and specificity of colour Doppler transvaginal sonography to detect functional ovarian cysts were 84.6 and 99.2% respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 98 and 93.5% respectively. In our experience, transvaginal sonography with colour Doppler is a useful technique in the diagnosis of ovarian pathology.
