The patient is a 55-year-old female. A mass was found in the right adnexa on a CT scan performed during a check-up for intrauterine infection. Besides an ovarian tumor, actinomycosis infection was also considered due to the presence of an intrauterine device (IUD) that had been in place for 20 years. MRI was performed for diagnosis, because antibiotic treatment will be the first choice for actinomycosis instead of surgery for an ovarian tumor. How should we evaluate using MRI?

摘要

The patient is a 55-year-old female. A mass was found in the right adnexa on a CT scan performed during a check-up for intrauterine infection. Besides an ovarian tumor, actinomycosis infection was also considered due to the presence of an intrauterine device (IUD) that had been in place for 20 years. MRI was performed for diagnosis, because antibiotic treatment will be the first choice for actinomycosis instead of surgery for an ovarian tumor. How should we evaluate using MRI?
