title: Uterine leiomyosarcoma--magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) scanning shows great promise as an imaging tool to evaluate the pelvis as a result of contrast resolution and lack of ionizing radiation. For these reasons, it is assuming an important role in staging gynecologic neoplasms, and evaluating diseases in the gravid pelvis. A case of uterine leiomyosarcoma is presented in which MR imaging was able to delineate the extent and tissue characteristics of the lesion more precisely than CT scan.
