Abstract:
Background:
Ovarian hemangioma is an extremely rare tumor with atypical clinical manifestations, often discovered incidentally during autopsy or surgery.
Approximately 60 cases have been reported in the past, but no more than 10 cases have been investigated by MRI and ultrasound (US).
Case Presentation:
ln this paper, we reported a 51-year-old female patient with Ovarian Hemangioma who had no symptoms of abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal
bleeding or discharge, or any other discomfort. Laboratory tests revealed an elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA125) of 48.99U/ml (reference
range: 0-35U/ml). Multiparametric 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a cystic solid mass with a clear boundary and regular shape in
the left ovarian area and minimal ascites in the abdominal cavity. The histological examination of the mass confirmed an ovarian hemangioma.
Conclusion:
The MRI findings of ovarian hemangiomas are highly similar to those observed in hepatic hemangiomas, emphasizing the distinctive radiological
characteristics specific to this condition in the ovary. This paper presents an overview of the typical MRI findings associated with ovarian
hemangioma, which holds great importance for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
