Abstract
Uterine and adnexal incidentalomas are frequently encountered on ultrasound (US) examinations performed in women of reproductive age group referred for other indications unrelated to the uterus or adnexae.US is the initial imaging modality of choice for evaluation of uterine and adnexal lesions. It provides the benefits of accessibility, affordability and absence of ionizing radiation. Transabdominal US can accurately diagnose some lesions without further imaging or follow up. Transvaginal US (TVUS) and/or follow up US examination may be needed, in some cases, for better characterization of lesions detected on transabdominal US and monitoring temporal changes in size and morphology. Complex and/or indeterminate adnexal lesions need further evaluation either by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or surgical resection and histopathology.

Aim:
The aim of the work is to find out the prevalence of uterine and adnexal incidentalomas in Egyptian women of reproductive age presenting for ultrasound examination.

Patients and Methods
This study was conducted on 200 egyptian women of reproductive age group referred for abdominopelvic ultrasound examination for any cause other than gynaecological or obstetric complaint. The study was carried out at the ultrasound unit, department of radiodiagnosis and intervention, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria Main University Hospital during a period of 6 months interval from April to September 2022.
