Ovarian tumors are diagnosed with a combined examination, sensing next to the uterus, resistances that can be limited from the top and sides, and an ultrasound examination. Infiltrating tumor growth, the presence of hard, uneven nodules in the recto-uterine cavity indicate the malignant nature of the tumor.
