Abstract

Serous cystadenomas are thin-walled cysts, and cystadenofibroma has a solid component of low intensity on T2-weighted MR images. Mucinous cystadenomas are multilocular cystic tumors of “stained glass” appearance. Brenner tumor is typically a solid mass of low intensity on T2-weighted MR images containing calcification on CT, but commonly associated with cyst formation of variable degree.
