J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2001 Mar-Apr;25(2):201-6. doi: 10.1097/00004728-200103000-00007.

Abstract

The US, MR, and dynamic MR findings in four patients with sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary are reported. US showed a tumor with multilocular cystic components and irregularly thickened septa and tumor walls or a solid tumor including several small cystic components. On T2-weighted MR images, signal intensities of the cystic components were high and those of the solid components were inhomogeneous, ranging from intermediate-high to high. Dynamic MRI demonstrated marked early enhancement of the solid components.
