Abstract:
Objective To explore the MRI findings of ovarian cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).Methods MRI findings of 34 cases with advanced ovarian cancer and PC confirmed by operation and pathology were reviewed retrospectively.MRI protocols included T1 WI,T2 WI,MRH,DWIBS,and gadolinium-enhanced 3D THRIVE sequences.The type of ovarian tumor and MRI manifestations of PC were analyzed.Results All of the ovarian tumors and PC lesions were high signal intensity in DWIBS.All of the ovarian tumors were shown as mixed cystic solid masses,including type Ⅱa in 12 cases,type Ⅱb in 7 cases,and type Ⅱc in 1 5 cases.The MR manifestations of PC were described as follow:linear thickening of the peritoneum (n=2),irregular linear thickening of the peritoneum (n=27);smudged thickening of the omentum (n=1 9),cake-like thickening of the omentum (n=1 1);fouling-appearance of the mesentery (n=4);plaque,nodule and mass in the abdominal cavity (n= 34),cystic mass (n=8).PC lesions were detected in the Douglas’space in 31 cases,paravesical interspace in 24 cases,omentum in 20 cases,paracolic gutter in 9 cases, right subdiaphragmatic / parahepatic space in 1 1 cases,and left subdiaphragmatic / parasplenic space in 10 cases.The primary and PC tumors invaded the rectum in 26 cases,sigmoid in 22 cases,and uterus in 1 6 cases.Ascites and lymphadenectasis in abdomen were seen in 33 and 7 cases,respectively.Conclusion Ovarian cancer PC can be diagnosed accurately by combing DWIBS and con-ventional MRI.
