A member asked:
Would a palpable soft tissue mass in pelvic area be seen on pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound?

Maybe: Every test has its' strengths and weaknesses, depending upon what is being evaluated and the ultrasound exam is no exception. Sometimes CT scans are better and dissecting identifiable masses. However, your MD should be able to ascertain what is what based upon his/her exam and the adjuvant testing.

Maybe: It depends upon where the soft tissue mass is. Transvaginal or pelvic ultrasound is great for evaluating the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and even the appendix (when it's inflamed). But it's not a great modality to evaluate intestinal, muscle, or fat masses.
