MR images of ovarian carcinosarcoma.
The MR imaging of an ovarian carcinosarcoma is described. The tumor was heterogeneous and showed very high-intensity on T2-weighted images and iso-intensity on T1-weighted images, with visible enhancement. Even though signal intensities were somewhat different from those of ovarian adenocarcinoma, the preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinosarcoma is still difficult.
