PURPOSE: Decidualized endometriomas (DEs) and seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) exhibit similar MR findings including markedly hyperintense mural nodules within endometriotic cysts on T2-weighted images. The present study aimed to asse…
BACKGROUND: High-grade serous carcinoma, a representative high-grade ovarian carcinoma, is believed to be closely associated with a TP53 mutation. Recently, this category of ovarian carcinoma has gained increasing attention owing to the rec…
OBJECTIVE:: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of MRI for differentiating between uterine submucosal polypoid adenomyomas (PAs) and endometrial polyps (EPs). METHODS:: MRI was used to examine 40 histopathologically confirmed benign po…
PURPOSE: To retrospectively compare the MR findings of histological subtypes of clear cell carcinomas (CCCs) of the ovary. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board, and th…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of 3D surface-rendered (SR) magnetic resonance (MR) images for surgical planning of uterine fibroids. METHODS: Ten patients with uterine fibroids underwent 3D volume isotropic turbo spin-ech…
OBJECTIVE: Although fibroids greatly affect reproductive health, the pathophysiology and epidemiology are not well known. Recently, we have reported the relationship between uterine leiomyoma and metabolic syndrome. Many studies have indica…
OBJECTIVE: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecological benign tumor and greatly affect reproductive health and well-being. They are the predominant indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women. Current epidemiological study r…
