MR imaging of atypical polypoid adenomyoma.
The magnetic resonance (MR) appearances of three cases of atypical polypoid adenomyoma are reported. The signal intensity of the tumor was similar to that of adenomyosis on T2-weighted MR Imaging (MRI). On contrast-enhanced study, irregular enhancement was seen in hyperintense areas on T2-weighted images. Atypical polypoid adenomyoma can be characterized as a hypointense polypoid mass with hyperintense foci on T2-weighted MR images, resembling the appearance of adenomyosis.
