ABSTRACT
Mimics of adnexal masses can include uterine leiomyomas, intraperitoneal cystic and solid masses of mesenteric or gastrointestinal origin, and extraperitoneal cystic and solid masses. When a pelvic mass is discovered on imaging, a radiologist should recognize these mimics to avoid mischaracterization of a mass as ovarian for optimal patient management. Knowledge of pelvic anatomy, determining whether a mass is intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal, and troubleshooting with MR imaging can help determine the etiology and origin of a pelvic mass. Imaging characteristics and keys to diagnosis of these adnexal mass mimics are reviewed in this article.
