Περίληψη:
Gynecologic malignancies are common among cancers diagnosed during pregnancy, especially those of cervical and ovarian origin. Imaging is an important part of the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of pregnancy-associated gynecologic tumors, with sonography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging being the most suitable modalities. MR imaging is particularly useful in cervical cancer for the evaluation of tumor size, nodal, and extrapelvic disease. Ovarian tumor is initially diagnosed with sonography; MR imaging should be performed in cases of indeterminate ultrasonography findings and for staging. Pregnancy-related changes may be responsible for erroneous diagnosis; radiologists should be aware of such pitfalls to avoid misinterpretation. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
