Diagnosis of endometriosis faces significant challenges including diagnostic delay and reliance on invasive procedures. Deep endometriosis (DE) poses additional difficulties in non-invasive diagnosis due to its subtle and complex imaging fe…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting and classifying adhesions between pelvic organs caused by endometriosis, comparing MRI findings to those obtained by laparoscopy. DESIGN: Pros…
PurposeTo clarify imaging and clinical characteristics of ovarian carcinosarcoma (CS) compared with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed MR imagings of 12 patients with CS and 30 patients with HGSC and evalu…
We report the case of a 30-year-old woman who complained of a painful palpable mass. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ill-defined mass approximately 8 cm in diameter with internal microcytic components. The mass diffusely involved the…
BACKGROUND: Primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma is sub-classified into serous, mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell subtypes. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become an alternative treatment option past several years, as serous carcinoma, the…
Dienogest is a novel synthesized progestin used for treatment of endometriosis. This is the first case report describing a therapeutic effect of dienogest on a gynecologic malignancy. The patient was a 44-year-old woman with advanced adenos…
OBJECTIVE: Although mural nodules are considered to be the most important hallmark in the recognition of ovarian cancers accompanied with endometriotic cysts, benign neoplasms and even inflammatory diseases can show similar MRI findings. We…
The radiological findings of cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) have not been described previously. Here, we present MR findings of this neoplasm that included mixed solid and cystic components with eccentric solid components. These a…
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is useful not only for preoperative staging of gynecologic malignancies but also for prediction of the histopathologic features of a variety of intrapelvic tumors. Familiarity with the specific imaging findin…
OBJECTIVE: Various types of malignancy can develop in patients with endometriosis. Enhancing mural nodules have been reported as an imaging characteristic of malignant transformations. We evaluated contrast-enhanced MR imaging to determine …
Because the ovaries are composed of surface epithelial cells, germ cells, sex-cord stromal cells and stroma, tumors of various histopathologies arise from this organ. In addition, a number of non-tumorous diseases form adnexal masses such a…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to apply multishot echoplanar MR imaging (EPI) to the female pelvis and compare image quality with that of fast spin-echo MR imaging. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one patients with suspected pelvic d…
We examined whether MR can determine the stage of endometriosis according to the scoring system established and revised by the American Fertility Society (r-AFS), a system which is widely used by gynecologists. We also studied the utility o…
