MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRg HIFU) is a novel method of tissue ablation that incorporates high energy focused ultrasound for tissue heating and necrosis within an MR scanner that provides simultaneous stereotactic tissue…

Decidualization is the physiological transformation of endometrial tissue into the dense highly vascularized cellular matrix known as decidua that occurs in the endometrium of the uterus during pregnancy [1]. The same process can occur in t…

Common benign gynaecological diseases, such as leiomyoma, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and mature teratoma, rarely undergo malignant transformation. Benign transformations that may mimic malignancy include benign metastasizing leiomyoma, mas…

OBJECTIVE: To present the ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings that may allow for a prospective diagnosis and expectant management of decidualized endometriomas because the rare occurrence of decidualization in the ectopic end…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this pictorial essay is to review the differential considerations when an adnexal mass is detected on CT or MRI in a patient with a primary nonovarian malignancy. CONCLUSION: Such adnexal masses may be metastases …

While the association of endometrioma and ovarian cancer is recognized in epidemiological and pathological literature, the radiological appearances of this combined pathology have not been described. The purpose of this project was to writ…

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 2 cases of ovarian cancer arising in an endometrioma are presented. In both cases, the cancer was evident as an enhancing mass within a blood-filled adnexal cyst. The MRI findings of an enhan…

Pelvic varices in women consist of tortuous and dilated parauterine and ovarian veins and have a characteristic appearance at CT and MRI. Imaging is critical in the evaluation of pelvic varices, both to prevent confusion with other conditio…
