We describe MR imaging findings about endometriotic cyst, endometriotic implant, adhesion, deep endometriosis, decidualized endometriotic cyst, and malignant neoplasms arising from endometriosis.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nTogashi K, Nishimura K, Kimura I, et al.
