Which finding indicates a pathology?

A
Palpation of the ovary is looking for size, shape, consistency, and mobility of the adnexa. The ovaries are normally almond shaped, firm, smooth, and mobile without tenderness. The presence of enlarged ovaries that are irregular, nodular, painful, with decreased mobility, or pulsatile indicates pathology. Vaginal walls normally are deeply rugated. The normal size of the cervix is 2.5 cm; a measurement greater than 4 cm is abnormal. Ovaries are often nonpalpable.
