Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging reveals characteristic features of struma ovarii, aiding in diagnosis. This study correlates MR findings with pathological details for struma ovarii tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Struma ovarii is a rare germ cell tumor of the ovary containing thyroid tissue.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on correlating imaging findings with histopathology.

Observation:

  • MR imaging of two struma ovarii cases was retrospectively analyzed.
  • Findings were compared with corresponding pathological examination results.

Findings:

  • Struma ovarii presents as complex masses with both cystic and solid components.
  • Cystic areas showed variable signal intensity, with T1 hyperintensity suggesting hemorrhage or colloid.
  • Solid components demonstrated T2 hyperintensity, intermediate T1 signal, and avid post-contrast enhancement.
  • Associated findings included ascites, adhesions, and peritoneal thickening.

Implications:

  • Characteristic MR imaging features can suggest struma ovarii, guiding further clinical management.
  • Understanding the MR appearance aids in differentiating struma ovarii from other ovarian masses.
  • Correlation of imaging and pathology is crucial for definitive diagnosis and treatment planning.
