Figure 1
Figure 1
Pelvic CT scan shows a 5.5 cm × 6.0 cm × 5.3 cm sized oval, soft tissue density mass between the bladder and rectum. Unenhanced (a) and contrast-enhanced (b) CT scan show CT value of the tumor is about 10.5 HU and 24.1 HU, respectively CT: computed tomography.
Figure 2
Figure 2
On cross section T1-weighted image (a), the tumor is mixed hypointense and hyperintense. On coronal T2-weighted (b) shows mixed hperintense signal tumor with hypointense capsule. On cross section, DW image (c) shows pale hyperintense signal. On cross section ADC image (d) shows the ADC is about 1.68 × 10−3 mm2 s−1. Contrast-enhanced MRI scan (e) shows prolonged and delayed enhancement pattern with tumor capsule. DW: diffusion-weighted; ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.

Figure 3
Grossly, the mass consisted of a well-circumscribed, oval contour. Its external surface is smooth, glistening (a). The cut surface showed multilocular cysts (b).
Figure 4
Figure 4
Microscopy: The tumor contains innumerable glands and cysts of varying sizes and shapes filled with pale eosinophilic intraluminal secretions and lined by one to two layers of cuboidal or low columnar cells. Scale bar = 100 μm (a and b). The stromal cells are spindle-shaped and arranged in fascicles between the glands. Scale bar = 200 μm (c).

Figure 5
The glandular cells showed positivity for CA125. Scale bar = 100 μm.
