The role of MRI in evaluation of an adolescent with a pelvic mass.
Abnormalities of the genital tract are common in adolescent females. Evaluation of pelvic pathology generally involves the use of ultrasonography. Recently, MRI has been shown to be effective in the diagnosis of pelvic pathology in adult females. Here, we present the case of an 11-year-old female with a pelvic mass in whom MRI proved to be an important diagnostic tool.
