Info

A right intra-ovarian lesion is noted with heterogeneous high signal intensity on T1WI with near-complete loss of signal on fat-suppressed T2WI. In-phase and out-of-phase sequences show no loss of signal excluding intracellular fat nature.

Case Discussion

MRI features are in favor of a fat-rich right intra-ovarian lesion with a macroscopic fat signal, in keeping with mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.
