Early Cervical Cancer: Predictive Relevance of Preoperative 3-Tesla Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 2

Stage IB1 cervical adenocarcinoma in a 42-year-old woman with radical hysterectomy (A) T2-weighted axial MR images show a moderated lobulated mass of uterine cervix with a focal disruption (arrow) of peripheral rim. The maximum diameter of the lesion is measured 3.6cm on the T2-weighted sagittal image. At histopathological finding, no parametrical lesion was found. MRI stage T2b (≤ 4 cm) was overdiagnosed as final pathologic stage T1b1.
