Özet
Objective: Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels in cyst fluid of ovarian masses were analyzed to distinguish malignant neoplasms from benign ones. Study Design: Forty women who underwent laparotomy for ovarian tumor were included in the study; twenty of those were pathologically reported as malignant and the remaining as benign. Cyst fluids of these, which were obtained intraoperatively, were analyzed for estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels. Results: Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels of cyst fluids of benign and malignant tumors were 376 ± 259.1 ng/ml and 106 ± 143.2 ng/ml, 46.1 ± 25.6 ng/ml and 2.3 ± 1.8 ng/ml, 3.9 ± 2.9 ng/ml and 2.8 ± 1.7 ng/m/, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: Examination of the levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, in cyst fluid taken by transvaginal aspiration appears to be beneficial in differentiating benign and malignant neoplasm.
