Abstract
ABSTARCT: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristic MRI, CT, and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) findings of Wolffian tumor. METHODS: We reviewed preoperative images in four surgical cases of Wolffian tumor. MRI was available for review in all cases with additional diffusion-weighted images (DWI) in three, and contrast-enhanced images in two. CT was available in three. FDG-PET/CT was obtained in two. RESULTS: Two patients were asymptomatic, while the other two presented with acute abdomen. On MRI, all tumors were well-defined masses of increased signals on T2WI. Three tumors were solid, whereas the other was solid and cystic. The normal ipsilateral ovary was identified in two patients of reproductive ages, but not in two postmenopausal patients. Tumors in two patients presented with acute abdomen were complicated by hemorrhage. All three tumors evaluated on DWI showed high intensities. Contrast-enhanced images of MRI and CT showed homogeneous enhancement as the same degree as the myometrium. On CT, one tumor contained punctate calcifications. FDG-PET/CT showed moderate FDG accumulation. CONCLUSION: Wolffian tumors may be typically solid extraovarian tumors occasionally associated with cysts and calcifications. Although they are benign, they mimic malignancy due to high intensities on DWI and increased FDG accumulation.
