Magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography of a giant multiseptated pyomyoma simulating an ovarian cancer

Abstract

A case of giant pyomyoma misdiagnosed as an ovarian cancer in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a positron emission tomography (PET) scan is presented. An unusual huge, multiseptated, and pedunculated character, as well as a normal-sized uterus on imaging studies, caused the misinterpretation of the MRI and PET scan images as an ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.
