Cj. Kasales et al., INTRAUTERINE LOW-DENSITY IN WOMEN OVER 50 - ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP, Clinical imaging, 20(3), 1996, pp. 194-198
Patients over 50 years old with intrauterine low density on enhanced c
omputed tomography were analyzed. Uterine volume and volume of intraut
erine low density were calculated. Intrauterine low density was expres
sed as a percent of uterine volume. At 1-year follow-up, 23 (63.9%) ha
d uterine malignancy and 13 (36.2%) had benign findings. All patients
whose intrauterine low density exceeded 35% of the total uterine volum
e had a malignancy (p < 0.001). if intrauterine low density exceeds 35
% of uterine volume, evaluation of uterine malignancy should be perfor
med regardless of symptoms.
