Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Malignant Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumors of the Ovaries with Pulmonary Metastasis

Abstract

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of immunohistochemically and histologically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. Here, we report on the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of ovarian PEComa with pulmonary metastasis. The tumor was visible as a multilocular hemorrhagic mass that encased the ovarian vessels. These findings were different to those of other common ovarian tumors.
