Radiology Report EXAM: MRI pelvis
Radiology Report
Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: Left adnexal complex mass
Radiology Report
Radiology Report COMPARISON: Pelvic ultrasound 12/01/2014
Radiology Report
Radiology Report TECHNIQUE: Multiaxial multisequence imaging performed before and after
Radiology Report IV administration of 15 ml ProHance gadolinium contrast
Radiology Report
Radiology Report FINDINGS:
Radiology Report
Radiology Report Imaging shows intermediate signal intensity T1 and increased signal
Radiology Report intensity due to structure measuring about 3.8 cm x 1.9 cm by 3.7 cm.
Radiology Report There is a relatively lower intensity due to outer with a single
Radiology Report internal septation towards the lateral one third of the lesion on
Radiology Report coronal images. The T1 and due to signal intensity is greater than
Radiology Report the substance of the uterus on the precontrast images.
Radiology Report
Radiology Report After contrast administration, there is uniform enhancement and the
Radiology Report differentiation between the V1 and T2 component appears to be
Radiology Report abolished. The internal septation is also not seen. On the post
Radiology Report gadolinium images. The entire complex appears to be continuous with
Radiology Report the left coronal region of the uterus.
Radiology Report There are no other abnormally enhancing lesions.
Radiology Report There is no adenopathy in the pelvis.
Radiology Report No significant free fluid is seen.
Radiology Report Tiny hemorrhagic or proteinaceous cyst in the right ovary measuring
Radiology Report about 0.8 cm is seen with low signal intensity on T2 and increased
Radiology Report signal on T1-weighted images.
Radiology Report Visualized bony structures show no evidence of avascular necrosis or
Radiology Report focal lesion.
Radiology Report After gadolinium administration, there is no abnormal enhancement in
Radiology Report the urinary bladder.
Radiology Report Substance of the uterus itself shows uniform expected enhancement.
Radiology Report The junctional zone is thickened and measures 2.1 cm. Adenomyosis is
Radiology Report likely present.
Radiology Report Visualized portions of the GI tract appear unremarkable.
Radiology Report
Radiology Report IMPRESSION:
Radiology Report
Radiology Report Enhancing ovoid somewhat bilobed ( measuring 3.8 x 1.9 x 3.7 cm on the
Radiology Report precontrast images and 4.8 x 3.1 by 2.5 cm on the postcontrast images)
Radiology Report mass in the left adnexa which seems to be of a different imaging
Radiology Report characteristic from the uterus on the precontrast images but shows
Radiology Report uniform increased in T1 signal on the post gadolinium fat suppressed
Radiology Report T1-weighted images. There is also apparent continuity with the left
Radiology Report side of the uterus on the post gadolinium scans. Differential
Radiology Report diagnosis will include an adnexal mass of left ovarian origin versus a
Radiology Report pedunculated fibroid with partial degeneration and blood products. In
Radiology Report the presence of diffuse enhancement, neoplasm is not excluded.
Radiology Report
Radiology Report
Radiology Report Adenomyosis of the uterus.
Radiology Report No evidence of adenopathy or fluid collection.

Brief Answer:
mostly a hydrosalpinx, but ovarian tumor 2 b ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting healthcaremagic.com

The Mri and Usg report signify that there is a complex cystic mass in the left adnexa which appears to be arising from the uterus and close to left ovary. It contains multiple cystic nodules of 4x3x3.5 cm size and dont appear to communicate with each other.
So the possiblilties are, :- UTERINE PEDUNCULATED FIBROID( outside the uterus),
HYDROSALPINX left tube( infection of left fallopian tube), OVARIAN MASS LEFT OVARY.

It is better to rule out tumour in ovaru first by getting TUMOR MARKERS done ...namely...CEA, AFP, BETA HCG, CA-125, HE4.
Once these tests are normal then tumour can be ruled out and the diagnosis would nost probably be hydrosalpinx , which present with deep pain during sex over one side and constant pressure in the pelvis.

This may then be removed safely by laparoscopy salpingectomy once tumor markers are normal.
I hope i have answered your query,
regards,
dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
