Overview

Abdominal MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. On abdominal MRI, pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by a mass which is hypointense on T1-weighted MRI and hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI.[1]

MRI

On abdominal MRI, pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by:[2][1]

  • T1: typically low signal
  • T2: typically high signal
  • T1 C+ (Gd): may show enhancement
