MR Imaging Differentiation of Endometrial Cysts from Hemorrhagic Cysts

The MR findings of twelve patients with endometrial cysts(IS cases) and of nine patients with hemorrhagic cyst(12 cases) were retrospectively evaluated. Fourteen patients were surgically corfirmed and seven with hemorrhagic cysts were clinically diagnosed by resolution of the cysts during ultrasound follow up. Sixteen patients underwent MR imaging using a l. ST sys­ tem(Magnetom Vision , Siemens , Germany) , and for five patients a 2 .0T system(Spectro 2000 , Gol­ dstar , Korea) was used . MR images were retrospectively evaluated with respect to size and signal intensity of the cyst , uni/multilocularity , shading , the hematocrit effec t, clot fluid-fluid level and septum , and thickness , signal intensity and enhancement of the cyst wal l.

Eleven(73.3 %) endometrial cysts were multilocular , but all hemorrhagic cysts were uni­ locula r. The signal was hyperintense on both Tl W1 and T2W1 in ten(66.7 %) endometrial cysts and seven(S8 .3 %) hemorrhagic cysts. Shading was found in five(33.3 %) and one(8.3 %), respectively; the hematocrit effect in two(13.3 %) and five(4 1. 7 %) respectively , clot in two of each type(13.3% , 16.7 %), and fluid-fluid level in only one hemorrhagic cyst. Septum was found only in endometrial cysts(five cases , 33.3 %); its signal intensity on both TIW1 and T2W1 was low , and on Gd-enhanced images was not enhanced. The cyst wall was thick in five of each type(33.3 %, 41.7 %); its signal in­ tensity was low on both Tl W1 and T2W1 , and not enhanced on Gd-enhanced images. 1n eight hemorrhagic cysts , however , the cyst wall was iso to high in signal intensity on both Tl W1 & T2WL and was enhanced on Gd-enhanced images. The prevalence of uni/ multilocularity , septum , and signal intensity and the presence of enhancement of the cyst wall were significantly different between the two groups(p ( O.OOS).

Uni/multilocularity , septum , and signal intensity and enhancement of the cyst wall were useful for the differentiation of endometrial from hemorrhagic cysts. Signal intensity of the cyst , shading , the hematocrit effect and clot were not helpfu l. 職 1 1lli 뺑 m m 쩌 쩌 때 0 0 0 -‘ 빼 없 뼈 Address reprint requests to: Jung Sik Kim, M.D., Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University, # 194 Dongsan-Dong, Chung-Gu, Taegu 700-712 Korea Tel. 82-53-250-7767 , Fax. 82-53-250-7766 , e-mail.
