“…In 50 -88% of cases of adenomyosis, there are multiple 2-mm tiny foci of high signal intensity on T2 images, which are thought to represent islands of endometrium. 14,16 In 20% of cases, there are hemorrhagic foci, which appear as dots of high signal intensity on T1 images.…”

“…22 Fibroid degeneration results in varying degrees of liquefaction, which correspond to a more cystic appearance and diminished contrast enhancement with areas of low attenuation (Figs. 21,22). 22 With extensive degeneration, the leiomyoma may be quite large and predominantly cystic, and may be confused with a cystic ovarian mass (Fig.…”

Determining the cause of acute pelvic pain in the female patient is often a clinical challenge. Diagnostic imaging can be invaluable in this situation. Ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, and hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic conditions presenting with acute pelvic pain. Ovarian torsion and degenerating fibroids occur less frequently. Other causes to consider include endometriosis, and postpartum causes such as endometritis, or ovarian vein thrombosis. Finally, nongynecologic conditions may overlap in their presentation of acute pelvic pain and should also be considered. The most important of these is acute appendicitis.

“…Acute hematomas have higher attenuation than muscle on CT. As the hematoma evolves, its attenuation becomes more heterogeneous and lower because of degradation of RBCs [1]. After 2-4 weeks, the density of the hematoma may reach that of serum (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). The apparent MRI evolution of a hematoma also varies according to the degradation products of RBCs.…”

Integrating salient imaging findings with clinical history is crucial when approaching the diagnosis of subcutaneous soft-tissue masses. The diagnosis of endometriosis should be entertained when soft-tissue masses are seen in the distribution of a cesarean section scar in a woman of reproductive age. Pain, particularly with a cyclic pattern, is highly suggestive of endometriosis. If endometriosis is suspected on CT or ultrasound, MRI can be performed for further evaluation. Definitive diagnosis is made with biopsy. Because subcutaneous nodules are so amenable percutaneous biopsy, imaging features, although of interest, are somewhat ancillary to the diagnostic workup.
