  • Title: Lesions of the Pouch of Douglas: A Review.
    Author: Heller DS.
    Journal: J Minim Invasive Gynecol; 2016 Jan; 23(1):28-33. PubMed ID: 26304722.
    Abstract:
    The pouch of Douglas may become occupied by a variety of mass-like lesions, which may be challenging to providers who treat women. These lesions may initially be thought to arise from the uterus or adnexa. We conducted a literature review using a Medline search of the terms "Douglas' pouch," "pouch of Douglas," "cul-de-sac," and "rectouterine pouch." A review of the scope of pouch of Douglas lesions is presented to assist in developing a differential diagnosis if a patient with such a lesion is encountered.
