title: Magnetic resonance imaging of a benign Brenner tumor with an ipsilateral simple cyst.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging features were assessed in a benign Brenner tumor with an ipsilateral simple cyst. Brenner tumor showed isointensity to the uterine muscle on T1-weighted images and markedly low signal intensity on T2-weighted images. On the other hand, on T1-weighted images after administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine a Brenner tumor showed mild patchy enhancement. The low signal intensity seen on T1- and T2-weighted images may have been due to the abundant dense fibrous tissues.
