Background: The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) has emerged as a valuable tool for risk stratification and management of adnexal masses detected on ultrasound. This study aimed to validate the diagnostic efficacy of O-RADS in stratifying the risk of malignancy in adnexal masses, substantiated by histopathological correlation. Study Design: A prospective observational study involving 55 patients with ovarian/adnexal lesions was conducted, with lesions assessed using the O-RADS grading system and correlated with histopathological examination reports. Results: The mean age of the study group was 42.6 years, with various O-RADS classifications observed. The most common benign finding was a simple ovarian cyst, while the most common malignant condition was serous cystadenocarcinoma. The diagnostic performance of O-RADS ultrasound classification showed good sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy. The risk of malignancy increased with higher O-RADS grades, with Grades 4 and 5 exhibiting a higher prevalence of malignancy. Conclusion: The findings of our study underscore the efficacy of O-RADS in accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal lesions, guiding appropriate referrals, and optimizing patient management. Further studies are warranted to validate the system's reliability across different observers and settings.
