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

Figure 7

Stage IB2 cervical adenocarcinoma in a 48-year-old woman with radical hysterectomy (A) T2-weighted axial MR images show a 5 cm well defined exophytic mass (star) mainly involving right posterior exocervix with no disruption of peripheral rim. The maximum diameter of the lesion is measured 5cm (arrowhead) on the T2-weighted sagittal image. At histopathological finding, bilateral parametrial lesion was found. MRI stage T1b (> 4 cm) was underdiagnosed as final pathologic stage T2b.
