Abstract:
Mucinous tumors are a common ovarian cystic tumor, having a characteristic finding on MR imaging, the so-called stained glass appearance. We report a rare case of a solidified mucinous tumor of the ovary, which showed unique findings on MR images. The tumor demonstrated hypointensity on T2-weighted images, not stained glass appearance, mimicking ovarian fibrous tumor such as thecoma-fibroma. Histopathological examination confirmed solidified contents of the tumor with numerous septa and diagnosed mucinous borderline tumor/atypical proliferative tumor.
