Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare benign ovarian tumor that contains both epithelial and fibrous stromal components. The appearance of cystadenofibroma on imaging is often complex; cystic- to solid-appearing masses may be visualized and it often resembles a malignant tumor. Owing to the fibrous component of this tumor, MRI shows low-signal intensity on T2W images. This finding may help a radiologist make a preoperative diagnosis of this tumor and thus perhaps avoid aggressive surgical management.
卵巢囊腺纤维瘤是一种相对罕见的卵巢良性肿瘤,包含上皮和纤维性间质成分。囊腺纤维瘤在影像学上的表现通常较为复杂;可看到呈囊性至实性的肿块,且常类似恶性肿瘤。由于该肿瘤的纤维成分,MRI在T2加权图像上显示低信号强度。这一发现可能有助于放射科医生对该肿瘤进行术前诊断,从而或许可避免采取激进的手术治疗。
