Axial CECT shows a heterogeneous uterine mass (black arrow) with an anterior pelvic tumor implant (*).
Axial T2WI MR shows a large heterogeneous mass (white open) in the uterus. Note that thinned but intact myometrium around the mass (white arrow) indicates that the mass is confined in the uterus.
Sagittal T2WI MR shows a large heterogeneous mass (white open) with cystic and solid components replacing the entire uterus.
Gross pathology shows heterogeneous, poorly-demarcated, myometrial mass (white arrow) with central necrosis (white curved) in a patient with uterine leiomyosarcoma.
Coronal graphic shows a uterus with multiple intramural leiomyomas (white arrow).
Axial T2WI MR shows a high SI cellular intramural leiomyoma (white open) approaching the endometrium. A low SI subserosal leiomyoma is also seen (white arrow).
Axial T2WI MR shows an intramural leiomyoma surrounded by myometrium (black arrow). The leiomyoma has higher SI than myometrium consistent with cellular histology.
Coronal gross pathology shows a hysterectomy specimen with multiple intramural leiomyomas (black open). (Courtesy B. Hamm, MD).
Sagittal T2WI MR at 3.0T shows the same intramural leiomyoma (white arrow) as previous image. Note the improved spatial resolution associated with with a 3.0T system improves the conspicuity of smaller leiomyomas (white open).
Axial CECT shows a round, solid, enhancing mass (white arrow) adjacent to the sigmoid colon (white open) in a 36 year old with abdominal pain. Reproduced with permission from AJR.
Coronal CECT shows a heterogeneously enhancing left retroperitoneal mass (white arrow) which encases and displaces the left gonadal vein (white open). Reproduced with permission from AJR.
Intra-operative photograph confirms the round mass (white arrow) seen on CT and also demonstrates radiologically occult, 4 mm peritoneal nodules (white open). Reproduced with permission from AJR.

Axial CECT shows an enhancing filling defect (white curved) within the IVC and renal vein (not shown).
CT shows a large renal mass invading the renal vein. The axial image shows a heterogeneous, vascular mass destroying much of the renal parenchyma at this level. The mass invades the left renal vein (curved arrow, #1, 2). An apparent filling defect within the IVC (open arrow, #1)
Coronal reformations of CECT show a large mass (arrows, #1, 2) replacing all but the upper pole of the left kidney. Tumor extends into the left renal vein (curved arrow, #2) and into the IVC (open arrow, #2, 4).
Axial CECT shows the classic appearance of POVT (black arrow) with a thick, enhancing vessel wall and low-density intraluminal clot. It is important to follow the course of this tubular structure to confirm it is the ovarian vein and evaluate for propagation of the clot into the IVC.
Axial CECT shows an enlarged right ovarian vein with an avidly enhancing wall and low-attenuation intraluminal thrombus (white arrow).
Coronal CT reconstruction in the same case shows the thrombus (white arrow) extending cephalad to the junction with the IVC. Treatment of ovarian vein thrombosis must include both antibiotics and heparin.
Coronal reformatted CT shows enlarged, irregularly enhancing uterus (black curved), large enhancing pelvic veins, enhancing tumor in the right ovarian vein (white curved), subphrenic segment of the IVC (white arrow), and heart (white open).
Coronal T1 C+ MR shows heterogeneously enhancing uterus (white open), enlarged pelvic veins, long and irregularly enhancing filling defects in the right ovarian vein (white curved) and subphrenic segment of the IVC (white arrow).
