Reflux into the left ovarian vein is seen up into the contralateral ovarian plexus by passing through the dilated parauterine and uterine veins. This CT finding is common in asymptomatic multiparous women. Narrowing of the LRV at its aortomesenteric portion can be one of the causes of such reflux.
The radiological findings of cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) have not been described previously. Here, we present MR findings of this neoplasm that included mixed solid and cystic components with eccentric solid components. These are similar to the MR features of ovarian CCA. Endometriosis was also noted in the uterine cervix. Coexistence of CCA and endometriosis at the cervix suggests that the pathogenesis may be similar to that of ovarian CCA.
Serous psammocarcinoma, a rare variant of ovarian serous carcinoma, is characterized histologically by the pervasive presence of psammoma bodies. In this case, computed tomography scans showed extensively calcified pelvic and peritoneal masses. The pelvic mass appeared sandy on enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. These imaging results suggest that the presence of abundant psammomatous calcifications in primary and disseminated lesions may be a radiological marker of ovarian psammocarcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
