2. Figure 1
Several facets of the magnetic resonance image raised suspicion that the uterine mass was not a typical leiomyoma and was highly suspicious for a sarcoma. All images were performed with the patient in the prone position. Diffuse heterogeneity as well as blood-fluid levels were seen (arrows) in both the sagittal (A) and axial (B) T2-weighted images. The fluid was of high signal intensity (white) on the axial T1 fat-saturated MR image (C), consistent with blood (arrow). There also was diffuse, patchy, heterogeneous enhancement on the coronal T1-weighted image (D) after administration of the intravenous contrast agent gadolinium, consistent with the pattern of necrosis seen with sarcomas.
