To determine the dignostic value of ultrasonography and color doppler ultrasonography in discriminating benign and malign adnexinl masses. To discriminate the benign and ma-lign masses; ultrasonography and color doppler ultrasonography were perhormed to 61 patients who were hospitalized in SSK Göztepe Maternity hospital in between 1.4.2000-15.3.2001 and who had taken the operation ind›cation. With the use of these tests we determined the sensitivity, spesificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of each tests. With the threshold values, in Sassone ultrasonographic scoring system 9 for PI in colour Doppler examination <1 and for PI in color Doppler examination <0.4, the obtained results were as following: In ultrasonographic scoring the sensitivity, the specifity, PPV and NPV were 69.23 %, 91.67 %, 69.23 % and 91.67 %, for PI sensitivity, the specifity, PPV and NPV were 92.3 %, 69.7%, 48 %, 96.7 % and for RI 46.2 %, 88.4 % 54.5 %, 84.4 % respectively. Ultrasonographic evaluation with its assessed high sensitivity and PPD should be used in gynaeccoloical practice. We consider that, although an absolute value can not be elicited in Doppler values, it should be evaluated with ultrasonographic data and clinical findings.
