Case of the Week: Ovarian Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma (Ultrasound & MRI)
Listen now
Description
In this radiology lecture, we reveal the imaging appearance of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary and explain differentiating features from serous cystadenocarcinoma. Key points include: * A rare type of malignant ovarian epithelial tumor. * Often large at presentation, may be enormous. * Almost always multilocular. * Mucinous, proteinaceous and hemorrhagic material within loculi. * US: Scattered low-level echoes. * MRI: “Stained glass” appearance = Variable T1/T2 signal. Thick mucin = T1/T2 hyperintense. * Irregular, thick septations and solid components with internal vascularity and enhancement allow differentiation from mucinous cystadenoma.
