Abstract

Ovarian carcinoid tumors are very rare entities that often mimicother ovarian neoplasms. A case of primary ovarian carcinoid in a 44-year-old woman is presented with emphasis on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of the tumor and pathologic correlation. Ovarian carcinoid tumors can be variable in their MRI appearance, presumably due to different tumor subtypes and tumor components, thus requiring pathologic diagnosis. It is imperative to accurately diagnose primary ovarian carcinoid tumors, as their prognosis is usually more favorable compared to other malignant ovarian neoplasms.
