ABSTRACT
Ovarian carcinoid is a rare well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor resembling those arising in the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of ovarian carcinoid with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. A 50-year-old woman with genital bleeding and severe constipation was referred to our hospital. On MR imaging, a left ovarian tumor showed iso to high signal intensity on T1-weighted images (T1WI), relatively low signal intensity on T2WI, and slightly high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted images. Additionally, the tumor demonstrated early and delayed strong contrast enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced images. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed with ovarian strumal carcinoid. High signal intensity on T1WI should be recognized as the MRI findings in ovarian carcinoids.
