Abstract: Objective To study the CT and MRI features of ovarian granulosa cell tumor(OGCT).Methods The clinical and imaging data of 12 cases with OGCT proved by pathology were analyzed retrospectively(10 cases were performed with CT,5 cases were performed with MRI,and 3 cases were performed with both CT and MRI).Results All lesions were solitary.The tumors presented round,oval, or lobulated with clear boundary.In 12 cases, 3 cases were multiple cystic masses with uneven thickness of cyst walls and septation.Mild enhancement of the cyst walls and septation was showed after contrast enhancement.7 cases were cystic and solid masses with multiple cysts, typically with sponge-like pattern,and most cases showed slightly to moderately enhancement.2 cases were solid mass with septation,1 case showed significant enhancement,and 1 case showed slightly enhancement.6 of 12 cases presented enlargement of the utreus and endometrium thickening,1 case was associated with endometrial carcinoma.Conclusion OGCT has characteristic CT and MRI features, and CT and MRI examinations combined with estrogen abnormality are helpful for diagnosis.
