Abstract：Objective To explore the ultrasound image findings and diagnostic value of ovarian Brenner's tumor.Methods The preoperative ultrasound findings of 35 patients with pathologically confirmed ovarian Brenner's tumor in Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from March 2014 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,and compared with the pathological results.Results Among the pathological classifications,32 cases(91.43%)were benign,2 cases(5.71%)were borderline,and 1 case(2.86%)was malignant,Lesion characteristics:all were unilateral single lesions,23 cases(65.71%)on the left side of ovary and 12 cases(34.29%)on the right side of ovary.There were 13 cases(37.14%)of sacculated mass,4 cases(11.43%)of solid mass,6 cases(17.14%)of mixed cystic mass,and 12 cases(34.29%)of unconfirmed properties.Ultrasound image findings,echo type:there were 11 cases(31.43%)of anecho,20 cases(57.14%)of hypoecho,1 case(2.86%)of iso-hypoecho,2 cases(5.71%)of iso-echo,and 1 case(2.86%)iso-hyperecho.Blood flow distribution:32 cases(91.43%)with sparse blood flow signal,all of which were benign,and 3 cases(8.57%)had abundant blood flow.Conclusions Ultrasonography is of great value for the diagnosis of ovarian Brenner's tumor,and its characteristic manifestations include calcification,cystic-solid structure and blood flow distribution differences,benign blood flow is scarce,and borderline/malignant blood flow is abundant,which can provide a basis for pathological Nature identification.
