Abstract

Background Wolffian tumors in females are rare gynecological neoplasms, with fewer than 100 cases reported. Existing literature primarily focuses on the pathology, and reports involving imaging are limited. Objective This study presents a case of Wolffian tumor, emphasizing its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics to enhance preoperative diagnostic accuracy. Case report A 56-year-old woman presented with a year-long history of irregular vaginal bleeding. MRI revealed a solid mass in the right adnexal region. On T2-weighted images, the mass exhibited slightly elevated signal intensity with a distinctive low-signal intensity rim. Diffusion-weighted imaging displayed markedly increased signal intensity, and the contrast enhancement was moderate. The patient underwent laparoscopic right adnexectomy and received a Wolffian tumor diagnosis. No recurrence was observed during a 6-month follow-up. Conclusions Wolffian tumors exhibit distinctive MRI presentations. Notably, the prominent low-signal intensity rim on MRI may aid in accurate preoperative tumor diagnosis.
一例沃尔夫瘤患者的磁共振成像结果及相关文献综述
背景 女性沃尔夫氏肿瘤是一种罕见的妇科肿瘤,目前报道的病例不到 100 例。现有文献主要集中在病理学方面,涉及影像学的报道有限。本研究介绍一例沃尔夫瘤,强调其磁共振成像(MRI)特征,以提高术前诊断的准确性。病例报告 一位 56 岁的女性患者有一年的不规则阴道出血史。核磁共振成像显示右侧附件区有一个实性肿块。T2 加权成像显示,肿块信号强度略有升高,并伴有明显的低信号强度边缘。弥散加权成像显示信号强度明显增高,对比度中度增强。患者接受了腹腔镜右附件切除术,并得到了沃尔夫肿瘤的诊断。在 6 个月的随访中未发现复发。结论 沃尔夫肿瘤的磁共振成像表现与众不同。值得注意的是,核磁共振成像上突出的低信号强度边缘有助于术前准确诊断肿瘤。

期刊介绍: Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
