Ultrasound (U/S) of the pelvis. (A) 1 year after the diagnosis showing a reduced size (93.3 mm) hypo-echoic ovarian mass and resolution of the ascites. (B) 2 years after the diagnosis showing the unchanged ovarian mass and an irregular necrotic area in the centre (also present on previous scans). (C/D) 3 years after the diagnosis showing no progression and rather an improvement of the disease.

Meanwhile, regularly repeated pelvic ultrasounds initially showed a reduction of the ovarian mass size (Fig 1A), which had an irregular necrotic area in its centre (Fig 1B), and then an unchanged picture (Fig. 1C and 1D) without any progression of the disease.
Macroscopic pictures of the ovarian mass specimen. (A) Uncut (firm, solid mass). (B) Cross-section of the specimen.
