A case of metastatic malignant melanoma of the ovary with a multilocular cystic appearance on MR imaging

Yoko Abe et al. Jpn J Radiol. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

Ovarian metastasis from malignant melanoma is rare and usually appears as a solid ovarian mass. We report a case of ovarian metastasis from cutaneous malignant melanoma that proved to be a diagnostic dilemma. The ovarian metastasis exhibited a multilocular cystic appearance on magnetic resonance imaging, mimicking a mucinous ovarian tumor with massive ascites.
