title: Successful preoperative diagnosis of massive ovarian edema aided by comparative imaging study using magnetic resonance and ultrasound.
abstract: Massive ovarian edema (MOE) is a rare disease. Therefore, preoperative diagnostic method of massive ovarian edema (MOE) has not been established. We have succeeded in making a preoperative diagnosis of MOE aided by ultrasonogram and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the patient's ovaries were preserved. Characteristics and proposed diagnostic imaging criteria for MOE are discussed.
