ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to describe magnetic resonance imaging findings of newly categorized ovarian seromucinous tumors.METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed the images of 29 patients with seromucinous tumor for the following factors size, configuration, signal intensity (SI), and accompanying ovarian endometriosis.RESULTS:
Thirty-two tumors (17 benign, 7 borderline, 8 carcinoma) were found on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Their mean size was 11.4 cm. Benign tumors appeared as unilocular or multilocular cystic masses. Borderline tumors and carcinomas appeared as complex cystic-solid masses. T2-weighted SI of the solid portion was hyperintense in borderline tumors and intermediate in carcinomas. Endometriosis was present in 18 tumors, and hemorrhage (on images) in 20.CONCLUSIONS:
The imaging features of seromucinous tumors varied by tumor type. More than half of tumors were accompanied by endometriosis. High T2-weighted SI of the solid portion could be a specific feature of borderline tumors. It is hard to differentiate seromucinous carcinomas from other endometriosis-related carcinomas.
