Figure 6.

30-year old woman with endometrioid adenocarcinoma within an ovarian endometrioma. Transverse T2-weighted image shows a multicystic left adnexal mass lesion. Hyperintense parts on T1-weighted images were detected with very low signal intensity on T2-weighted images (arrows), a finding suggestive mainly of acute haemorrhage (these elements corresponded to hyperdense parts on CT examination). The soft tissue component (asterisk) was detected with intermediate signal intensity. (Parameters: 1.5 Tesla magnet; TR: 4000 msec; TE: 120 msec; slice thickness: 5 mm; gap: 0.5 mm).
