Reporting of uterine fibroids on ultrasound examinations: an illustrated report template focused on surgical planning

Abstract Uterine fibroids are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in women of reproductive age, and ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality for their diagnosis and characterization. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics developed a system for describing and classifying uterine fibroids uniformly and consistently. An accurate description of fibroids in the ultrasound report is essential for planning surgical treatment and preventing complications. In this article, we review the ultrasound findings of fibroids, detailing the main points to be reported for preoperative evaluation. In addition, we propose a structured, illustrated report template to describe fibroids, based on the critical points for surgical planning.

摘要：子宫肌瘤（uterine fibroids）是育龄期女性最常见的良性妇科肿瘤，超声为其诊断与特征评估的一线影像检查手段。国际妇产科联盟（International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics）制定了一套用于统一、规范描述和分类子宫肌瘤的系统。超声报告中对肌瘤的精准描述，对于手术治疗方案制定与并发症预防至关重要。本文回顾了子宫肌瘤的超声表现，并详细阐述了术前评估所需报告的核心要点。此外，基于手术规划所需的关键评估要点，我们提出了一套结构化、带图示的子宫肌瘤描述报告模板。
