Info

A well-defined, unilocular left ovarian cystic mass (measuring 66 × 47 × 69 mm) demonstrates high signal intensity on T1FS with a shading sign on T2W and contains several nodules with low signal intensity on T2-weighted images ("T2 dark spot sign") with diffusion restriction. No mural nodules, septations, fat, or solid components are observed. No post-contrast enhancement is noted.

Additionally, a uterine fibroid and several functional ovarian cysts bilaterally are also observed.

Case Discussion

The MRI findings are consistent with a left ovarian endometrioma, characterised by the T2 dark spot sign and shading sign. This lesion can also be classified as O-RADS 2.
