MRI

  • MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Sexcord/ stromal ovarian tumors[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
  • Findings on MRI differ according to the subtypes of tumors

Granulosa cell tumors:

  • They show heterogeneous signal intensity on both T1WI and T2WI and high signal intensity on DWI images
  • They appear as solid masses, tumors with hemorrhagic or fibrotic changes, multilocular cystic lesions or completely cystic tumors
  • Heterogeneity within a solid tumor is caused by intratumoral bleeding, infarct or fibrous degeneration
A 54 -year-old woman with primary adult type OGCT (Ic). The mass shows as the purely cystic lesion with mostly high signal on T1WI (a) and T2WI (b). Note, the hemorrhagic contents locates on the left side of the tumor, representing the relatively high signal on T1WI and low signal on T2WI (arrowhead) and high signal on DWI (c). After injection of contrast medium, the cystic wall shows minor enhancement (d),Zhang H, Zhang H, Gu S, Zhang Y, Liu X, Zhang G.

Fibroma, Fibrothecoma, and Thecoma:

  • As the name indicates fibromas have abundant collagen and fibrous contents, these tumors show relatively diagnostic imaging findings
  • They appear as hypointense masses on T1-weighted MRI with very low signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging
  • Dense calcifications are often noted
  • Scattered areas of high-signal-intensity in the mass indicate either edema or cystic degeneration
A 47-year-old women with a fibroma on the right ovary(arrows). Axial T1-weighted image (a) shows an oval mass of low signal intensity. Axial T2-weighted with fat suppression image (b) and coronal T2-weighted image (c) shows the mass was homogenous low signal intensity. T1-weighted contrast enhanced images (d) shows the mass was slightly enhanced. The mass shows low signal intensity on DW imaging (e) and has a significant low ADC value of 0.132 × 10− 3 mm2/s (f),Zhao SH, Li HM, Qiang JW, Wang DB, Fan H.

Sclerosing Stromal Tumor of Ovary:

  • They show hyperintense cystic components or a heterogeneous solid mass of intermediate to high signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI
  • There is clearcut contrast enhancement with internal small cleft and cysts
  • The tumors show early peripheral enhancement with centripetal progression on dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging
  • Characteristic early enhancement reflects the cellular areas with their prominent vascular networks, whereas an area of prolonged enhancement in the inner portion of the mass represents the collagenous hypocellular area
A 30-year-old young women with a sclerosing stromal tumor on the left ovary (arrows) combined with a mature teratoma on the right ovary(arrow heads). Axial T1-weighted image (a) shows a mass of low signal intensity. T2-weighted with fat suppression image (b) shows the mass has heterogenous high signal intensity. The mass shows moderate signal intensity on DW imaging (c) and has a significant high ADC value of 2.291 × 10− 3 mm2/s (d). T1-weighted contrast enhanced images (e) showed the mass was enhanced significantly. The photomicrograph (H&E, × 40) (f) shows the pseudolobulation of the cellular areas separated by hypocellular areas of loose edematous connective tissue,Zhao SH, Li HM, Qiang JW, Wang DB, Fan H.
