Serous psammocarcinoma, a rare variant of ovarian serous carcinoma, is characterized histologically by the pervasive presence of psammoma bodies. In this case, computed tomography scans showed extensively calcified pelvic and peritoneal masses. The pelvic mass appeared sandy on enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. These imaging results suggest that the presence of abundant psammomatous calcifications in primary and disseminated lesions may be a radiological marker of ovarian psammocarcinoma.
浆液性砂粒体癌是卵巢浆液性癌的一种罕见变体,其组织学特征是广泛存在砂粒体。在该病例中,计算机断层扫描显示盆腔和腹膜肿块广泛钙化。盆腔肿块在增强T1加权磁共振图像上呈砂样表现。这些影像学结果表明,原发灶和播散性病灶中大量砂粒体样钙化的存在可能是卵巢砂粒体癌的一个影像学标志。
