Radiographic features
MRI
As a general rule any mucin-producing tumor will produce very high T2 signal 1.
An enhancing lesion, irregular margin, and isointensity on T1 are features that would weigh towards a malignant lesion rather than a benign one 2.
Differential diagnosis
For more well-defined high T2 signal lesions on MRI, consider
- atypical nabothian cyst: tends to have high signal on T1 and no enhancement post contrast
