RADIOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN SEROUS SURFACE PAPILLARY CARCINOMA OF THE OVARY - CASE-REPORTS

Serous surface papillary carcinoma (SSPC) is a malignant tumor origina ting from the surface epithelium of the ovary, and is characterized by macroscopic normal ovaries accompanied by diffuse peritoneal dissemin ation. Therefore diagnosis of SSPC cannot usually be made preoperative ly. We report on two cases of SSPC in which US, CT, and MR demonstrate d nodularities along the surface of the normal-sized ovaries, adjacent organs and pelvic peritoneum in addition to findings of peritoneal se eding. These imaging findings may suggest the correct preoperative dia gnosis of SSPC.
