Diagnostic Value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging of a Huge Uterine Fibroids

Objective Explore magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) manifestations of huge uterine myoma,and to improve the diagnostic level of MRI.Methods From June 2011 to March 2012,a total of 21 cases of agittal,coronal,axial,T1WI,T2WI,STIR sequence scanning data by MRI from 21 cases of giant hysteromyoma patients were selected.Their giant hysteromyomas were diagnosis by pathological biopsy in operation,and controlled study by retrospective analysis method on MRI manifestations of huge uterine fibroids,and pathological biopsy results of all patients.The procedure of this study was consistent with ethical standard established by the committee of investigation in human beings of Bengbu First Hospital,Medical College of Southeast University.Results In 21 patients,maximum diameters of giant hysteromyoma among 17 cases were(13-26) cm,another diameters among 4 cases were more than 30 cm by MRI.During operation,confirmed for 13 cases in a serous,intramural for 6 cases,2 cases for submucosal type.For all of giant hysteromyoma had T1WI low signals,T2WI visible lesion spotted on flake and STIR sequence high signal,3 cases of postoperative pathological biopsy result confirmed that calcification.Conclusions MRI can clearly display the location of the fibroids,size and its relationship to surrounding tissues and lesion of judgment internal lesions,and great value for guiding treatment.
