Abstract
The mean long axis diameter of the CAFs was 80 mm The contralateral ovary was abnormal in 45 of cases A solid component was seen in 85 which returned low T2weighted signal in 75 of CAFs Septa were seen in 74 and one CAF was purely cystic The majority of solid components and septa demonstrated enhancement that was less than the myometrium Washin rates WIR of the solid tissue were available for measurement in nine patients with an average WIR of 32 l/sThis is the largest series describing MRI appearances of histologically proven CAFs They are typically complex adnexal lesions containing septa cystic components and solid tissue The majority of solid components demonstrate low T2 signal and minimal enhancement Almost half of the cases have an abnormal contralateral ovary
