Abstract
Determining whether a clinically diagnosed adnexal mass is benign or malignant is frequently not possible until surgical exploration and histologic examination are performed. Although the final diagnosis of a complex adnexal mass is based on the histological examination, it is desirable to preoperatively differentiate benign from malignant mass in order to decide whether surgery is required, and which type of surgery is appropriate, thus, it can help avoiding unnecessary surgery. A noninvasive technique known as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can provide further information prior to any tissue samples being obtained for histology. It allows the demonstration of relative tissue metabolite concentrations along a two-or three-dimensional spectrum based on the chemical shift phenomenon
