Clinical and MRI features of ovary adenofibroma: Analysis of 21 cases / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe clinical and MRI features of ovary adenofibroma (OAF). Methods: Clinical and MRI data of 21 patients with OAF confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among 21 cases, 15 were asymptomatic, while 4 cases complained of abdominal pain and 2 cases of abdominal distension. CA125 increased in 3 cases, while remained normal in 18 cases. OAF displayed as solid mass, solid cysts or polycystic masses on MRI. Most solid masses showed low signals or bottom signals on T2WI with light to medium enhancements. The solid parts of solid cysts showed very low signals of the polycystic and cystic separation on T2WI without or only slight enhancements. T2WI of the multi-sac cystic masses showed low signal of the wall and the separation with slight enhancement. Conclusion: OAF patients often had no characteristic symptoms, and tumor markers were mostly negative. MRI features were helpful to diagnosis of OAF.
