MR Findings of Extrauterine Müllerian Adenosarcoma Associated with Deep Pelvic Endometriosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
as a tumor composed of admixed benign epithelial and malignant nonepithelial components, and this tumor usually develops as a solitary lesion in the uterine corpus (1). These neoplasms can develop in the endometrial tissue as well as in the ectopic foci of endometriosis. Rare extrauterine müllerian adenosarcomas have been reported to arise in the ovary, cervix, vagina, pelvis, bladder and colon (2, 3). However, to the best of our knowledge, there are scarce reports on the MR findings of extrauterine müllerian adenosarcoma arising from deep pelvic endometriosis. We describe here a case of a large infiltrating extrauterine müllerian adenosarcoma arising from recurrent deep pelvic endometriosis and we discuss the MR findings.

Background The performance of TVS, TRS and MRI for the diagnosis of DIE have been separately reported in earlier studies. However, the three methods have not been concurrently compared in terms of their overall performance and classified results as per different anatomical locations of DIE lesions in a large study population. This study was an attempt to compare pelvic magnetic resonance imagin...
