Abstract: Objective To investigate the CT features of ovarian cystadenofibroma(CFA)and to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The clinical data and CT images of 7 patients with ovarian CFA were retrospectively analyzed.All cases underwent non-enhanced and contrast-enhanced CT scan.Results Ovarian lesions were unilateral in 5 cases,bilateral in 2 cases and totally 9 lesions were found.6 lesions were cystic,2 lesions were mainly solid and 1 lesion was mixed components.The maximum diameter of lesions ranged from 4.7-21.5 cm with an average of 8.2 cm.Lesions had smooth margins,and solid portions had different size vesicles. Cyst walls or septa showed various degree of thickening with calcification in 1 lesion and mural nodules in 5 lesions,and a small vesicle was visualized in only 1 of the mural nodules.Cystic portions appeared as fluid density without enhancement.Solid portions,thickened cyst walls and septa appeared as slight enhancement or no enhancement.No regional lymph node metastasis was found,no ascites or peritoneal implants as well.Conclusion Ovarian CFA has some characteristic of CT findings that may improve clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
