Abstract
Computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging were performed in 42 female
patients with suspected pelvic mass. Surgical and histopathological reports were compared
to the imaging findings, yielding mismatch in five (17.8%) patients. One benign cyst
and one case of postirradiation fibrosis were characterized as recurrent tumors, one
surgically transposed ovary as metastasis, and an ovarian torsion as ovarian tumor,
and a pelvic hematoma was mistaken for abscess. The most common false-positive finding
on a per-lesion basis was that of enlarged lymph nodes.
