title: [MR Imaging of primary ovarian tumors with pathologic correlation].
abstract: Ovarian tumors are classified based on the cell of origin into epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors and sex cord-stromal tumors. This pictorial essay illustrates the MR imaging features of the main ovarian tumors with pathologic correlation. These key features are helpful to suggest a specific diagnosis or narrow the differential diagnosis, in order to optimize the surgical approach.
