Chapter 17 The Uterus and Vagina

The rigid region of the uterus located between the vagina and the isthmus is the

Cervix

All of the following are sonographic findings consistent with adenomyosis EXCEPT:

Complex adnexal mass

The inferior portion of the cervix closest to the vagina is the

External os

The recesses of the vagina are the

Fornices

The layer of the endometrium that is altered as a result of hormonal stimulation during the menstrual cycle is the:

Functional Layer

Anechoic fluid noted distending the uterus and cervix within a pediatric patient is termed

Hydrometrocolpos

Leiomomas that project from a stalk are termed

Pedunculated

Precocious puberty is defined as the development of pubic hair, breasts, and the genitals before the age of

The Location of a fibroid within the myometrium is termed

intramural

The area of attachment of the fallopian tubes within the uterus is the

Cornu

A 24-yr old female patient presents to the ultrasound department for a pelvic sonogram with an indication of pelvic pain. Upon ultrasound interrogation, the sonographer notes an anechoic mass with the vagina This mass most likely represents a :

Gartner duct cyst

The normal position of the uterus is

Anteverted

The nonfunctional outer layer of the endometrium is the

Basal Layer

A simple fluid accumulation within the vagina secondary to an imperforate hymen is

Hydrocolpos

The surgical removal of a fibroid is termed

Myomectomy

Congenital malformations of the uterus that results in complete duplication of the genital tract is

Uterus didelphys

The invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium of the uterus is referred to as:

Adenomyosis

The uterine position in which the corpus tilts forward and comes into contact with the cervix describes

Anteflexion

The most common uterine anomaly is the

Bicornis unicollis

Heavy and prolonged menstrual flow is termed

Menorrhagia

The largest part of the uterus is the

Corpus

The most superior and widest portion of the uterus is the

Fundus

The superior portion of the cervix is the

Internal os

The paired embryonic ducts that develop into the female urogenital tract are the

Mullerian ducts

All of the following are clinical findings associated with leiomyoma except

Myometrial cysts

A 38- yr old female patient presents to the ultrasound department for a pelvic sonogram with an indication of pelvic pain. Upon ultrasound interrogation the sonographer notes an anechoic mass withing the cervix. This mass most likely represents a

Nabothian cyst
