title: Mucin-producing tumors of the ovary: MR imaging appearance.
abstract: Mucin-producing tumors of the ovary can be either primary epithelial mucin-producing tumors or ovarian metastases from a remote adenocarcinoma usually originating from the gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this pictorial review is to describe the main types of primary or secondary mucin-producing tumors of the ovary and to provide MR imaging diagnostic criteria in order to guide further therapy.
