Summary In total we performed a vaginosonographic measurement of 212 patients with or without a postmenopausal bleeding. Altogether 424 ovaries were sonographically examined. An endometrial thickness 〉4mm was histologically clarified by means of a curettage and all detectable ovarian tumors by means of a laparotomia. In total we found seven asymptomatic endometrial carcinomas, one cervical carcinoma and two ovarian cancers. The vaginosonography showed to be a very sensitive and acceptable method for the early detection of postmenopausal ovarian and endometrial tumors.
