Homogeneous, low-level internal echoes resembling a ground-glass appearance due to old blood content. "Kissing ovaries": Seen in severe endometriosis. Ovaries are located close together behind the uterus due to adhesions. No internal vascularity on doppler, which helps distinguish them from neoplastic masses.
