Non-epithelial ovarian cancer:CT,MRI findings and corresponding pathological basis / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the CT and MRI findings and corresponding pathological basis of non-epithelial ovarian cancer (NEOC).Methods The CT,MRI and clinical data of 74 patients with NEOC proved by surgical pathology were reviewed retrospectively.CT plain scan was performed in 57 cases,and CT enhancement scan was performed in 52 cases;MRI plain scan was performed in 17 cases,and MRI enhancement scan was performed in 11 cases;CT and MRI scans were performed together in 3 cases.Results Among the 74 patients,there were 23 mature teratomas (25 lesions),2 immature teratomas,8 strumas,10 yolk sac tumors,6 dysgerminomas,7 granulosa cell tumors,11 thecomas,5 fibromas and 2 sertoli-leydig cell tumors.97.3% (72/74)of the lesions were unilateral.There were 88.0% (22/25)and 92.0% (23/25)detection rate of calcification and fat in teratomas,respectively.On contrast enhancement,the immature teratoma showed significant enhancement,whereas the mature teratoma showed mild enhancement.On plain CT,strumas presented as multilocular cystic-solid masses,with calcification in 5 cases.After contrast agent administration,the solid portions showed marked enhancement.Tortuous vessels were seen in 7 yolk sac tumors.The linear hypointensity in dysgerminoma on T2WI showed marked enhancement.The granulosa cell tumors were cystic-solid masses,and 4 cases with increased estradiol.Solid mass with mild enhancement were present in thecomas and fibromas,and there were 8 cases with ascites.CT findings of 2 sertoli-leydig cell tumors were cystic-solid masses with significant enhancement of the cystic wall on contrast CT.Conclusion NEOC have some certain CT and MRI characteristics.Teratomas often contain calcification and fat.Strumas:multilocular cystic-solid masses.Yolk sac tumor:tortuous vessels.Dysgerminoma:marked linear enhancement.
