2 Fig. 1 Axial CT scan with contrast enhancement showing a heterogeneously enhancing large mass prolapsed to the perineum through the introitus spreading to the vaginal cavity. Clinical Imaging  , DOI: ( /j.clinimag ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Reformatted sagittal image showing the main portion of the lesion constitutes the bulky perineal mass connected to the uterus. The huge mass portion shows diffuse low attenuation with poor enhancement, which suggests extensive necrosis. Clinical Imaging  , DOI: ( /j.clinimag ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Inc.

4 Fig. 3 Sagittal T2-weighted MR image (TR/TE, 4130/129) showing a lobulated huge perineal mass with heterogeneous signal intensity, connected to the endometrial cavity by a stalk containing multiple fine linear structures.

5 Fig. 4 Sagittal T1-weighted MR image (TR/TE, 1330/11) with contrast enhancement showing the prolapsed main mass portion with diffuse homogeneous low signal intensity without enhancement. Clinical Imaging  , DOI: ( /j.clinimag ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
