Abstract(s)
Pelvic MR imaging allows to avoid most of the mistakes in the assessment of
ovarian masses made using transvaginal ultrasonography or CT scan.
However, even using pelvic MR imaging, there are some pathologies that may
mimic primitive ovarian cancer including pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine
myoma, digestive tumour or ovarian metastases. Preoperative diagnosis of
these pathologies is crucial because the therapeutic strategy is completely
different and the absence of a diagnosis may impact the prognosis. Thus, this
lecture will present three clinical situations where the radiologist needs to
accurately analyse MR images to not misdiagnose a wide variety of pelvic
pathologies as ovarian cancer.
Learning Objectives:
1. To become familiar with benign masses mimicking ovarian cancer.
2. To demonstrate benign and malignant diseases mimicking peritoneal
carcinomatosis.
3. To learn about imaging strategies for avoiding these pitfalls.
