Ultrasound
May be seen as a septated ovarian mass with varying echotexture. Colour Doppler interrogation may show prominent flow signal within the fibrovascular septa 2.
CT
Calcification may be present in a speckled pattern. Characteristic imaging findings include multilobulated solid masses with prominent fibrovascular septa. Post contrast imaging can often show enhancement of the septae.
MRI
Tumours are often seen divided into lobules by septa.
Reported signal characteristics include:
T2: the septae are often hypointense or isointense 3 T1 C+ (Gd): the septae often show marked enhancement 3
