• CT Clear cell ovarian carcinoma:
• * Large unilocular, mainly cystic, smooth marginated mass with lumen protruding solid portion and high-attenuated cystic portion.

• CT Ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma:
• * High attenuation in some loculi due to the high protein content of the mucoid material
• * CT Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma:
• * Calcification is detected in approximately 12% of tumours on CT but is non-specific as calcification can also be seen in benign serous tumours and other neoplasms.

• CT can be used for preoperative staging to look for lymphadenopathy, peritoneal, and distant metastases.
