Pitfalls in Imaging for Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is a relatively rare cancer, but it has a severe prognosis, mainly because it is often discovered at an advanced stage. 1 The majority of ovarian cancers (95%) are epithelial, and therefore appears to the radiologist as a mixed cystic and solid mass. Among these epithelial cancers, 70% are high grade serous cystadenocarcinomas.
