Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive imaging review of ovarian mass mimics, emphasizing the differential diagnosis of extra-ovarian lesions in the female pelvis. It highlights the importance of anatomical landmarks and specific imaging signs such as the beak sign and the ovarian vascular pedicle to distinguish true ovarian tumors from conditions like hydrosalpinx, pyosalpinx, adnexal ectopic pregnancy, torsion, and other pelvic pathologies.
Keywords: Ovarian mass mimics, pelvic pathologies, extra-ovarian lesions, radiologic imaging
