Aspects of an ovarian osteoma on magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the contribution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) scan to the diagnosis of an ovarian osteoma.


METHODS
Descriptive case study.


METHODS
Tertiary care center, Hôpital Tenon, Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Paris, University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France.


METHODS
A 29-year-old woman with a left-sided calcified ovarian tumor on MRI and CT scan, suggesting an ovarian osteoma.


METHODS
Surgical removal of a 64-mm primary ovarian osteoma, exclusively by the vaginal route.


METHODS
The MRI and CT scan findings.


RESULTS
Histologic examination showed an ovarian osteoma characterized by mature bone tissue, with no signs of malignancy.


CONCLUSIONS
Ovarian osteoma can be adequately diagnosed by MRI or CT scan and can be treated conservatively.
