| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to assess imaging findings on CT or MR images of histologically proven ovarian cystadenofibromas. In the period 1995–2001, 32 histologically proven ovarian cystadenofibromas were identified in 28 women. Of the 32 ovarian cystadenofibromas, 16 tumors were purely cystic and the remaining 16 were complex cystic on CT or MR images. Solid components of 16 complex cystic tumors were seen as nodular (n=8) or trabecular (n=9) solid areas. One tumor had both nodular and trabecular solid components. Among 16 complex cystic tumors, 14 had thick or irregular septa; thus, half of ovarian cystadenofibromas had morphological imaging features of malignancy on CT or MR images. On histology, solid components in the cystic tumors were correlated with fibrous stromas that occasionally made a false-positive result for malignancy on imaging. |
