Axial CT images of 3 different cases of AWE is our series (a,b,c), each demonstrating the “gorgon” sign (arrows). This finding may be explained by the similarity between AWE and the deep penetrating type of endometriosis, with a predominance of histiocytic infiltration and fibrosis due to chronic hemorrhage.
