title: Ovarian cancer: computed tomography findings.
abstract: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignant lesions in women. Radiologists are often called upon to interpret and report computed tomography (CT) findings for staging such lesions and for evaluating the patients' response to therapy. A variety of manifestations of this disease can be seen with CT, each of which can have a spectrum of appearances. These manifestations include ascites, peritoneal seeding, and visceral and nodal metastasis. A selection of situations commonly encountered in women with ovarian cancer, as well as several unusual ones, are depicted in this pictorial essay.
