Abstract

Objective Combined with the performance of Pathology to describe the typing and characteristics on CT of ovarian fibromas. Methods The clinical data and CT findings of 32 patients with histologically proved fibromas were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 32 tumors, 20 tumors were nearly round or elliptic and 12 were multilobular or irregular in shape. The size of the tumors ranged from 1.8cm to 21.4cm, and the mean maximum diameter was 8.1cm. Of the 32 cases, all the tumors had clear bordere, 12 cases were of homogeneous density and 20 heterogeneous. 30 tumors enhanced slightly and 2 had no enhancement after contrast medium injection. There were slim blood vessels in tumors in 2 cases after enhancement. 8 cases had tortiles. 6 cases had ascites. Conclusion CT can demonstrate the macropathologic form of ovarian fibroma well. The ovarian fibroma possesses characteristic features of benign tumors, Slight enhancement after contrast medium is its characteristic.
