MR imaging of uterine adenosarcoma: Case report and literature review

Abstract

We report a case of uterine adenosarcoma demonstrated on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. A 74-year-old woman with a large uterine mass underwent MR examination before total abdominal hysterectomy. Imaging revealed a markedly enlarged uterus with thin myometrium occupied by a large polypoid mass. The mass contained solid components with low intensity on T 1-weighted images and high intensity on T 2-weighted images compared to the myometrium and areas of small cysts.
