This case report describes the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of ovarian cancer developing within endometriomas in two patients. The authors identified that both malignancies appeared as enhancing masses situated inside blood-filled adnexal cysts on MRI scans. They note that recognizing this specific radiological pattern is crucial for identifying superimposed malignancy, which can lead to earlier and more effective treatment strategies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the risk of malignant transformation of endometriomas into ovarian cancer.

Abstract

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 enhancing mass within a blood-filled adnexal cyst should prompt consideration of ovarian cancer arising in an endometrioma, facilitating recognition of a superimposed malignancy and potentially allowing for earlier and more efficacious treatment.
