AB  - PURPOSE: To compare potential discriminatory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
      features of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) and primary epithelial 
      ovarian cancer (EOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: MRI features (the laterality, shape, 
      size, signal intensity, enhancement of solid portion, amount of ascites, 
      peritoneal planting, lymph nodes, or distant metastasis) of 27 tumors in 23 
      patients with PFTC confirmed by surgery and pathology were compared with 42 
      tumors in 37 patients with EOC. RESULTS: The mean maximum diameter was 6.1 +/- 0.7 
      cm in PFTC versus 10.2 +/- 0.6 cm in EOC. MRI features of PFTC were sausage-like 
      shape (19/27, 70%), or irregular (8/27, 30%) shape; solid (20/27, 74%) or 
      cystic-solid (7/27, 26%) mass; homogeneous (21/27, 78%) or heterogeneous (6/27, 
      22%) signal on T2 -weighted images; mild (8/27, 30%), moderate (13/27, 48%), or 
      prominent (6/27, 22%) enhancement; associated hydrosalpinx (13/27, 48%) or 
      intrauterine fluid accumulation (7/23, 30%). Significant differences between PFTC 
      and EOC were found in the size, shape, configuration, signal homogeneity, and 
      enhancement pattern, associated hydrosalpinx, and intrauterine fluid accumulation 
      (P < 0.001, < 0.001, 0.015, 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, and 0.001, respectively). 
      CONCLUSION: PFTC often appears as a small-sized solid mass, with a sausage-like 
      shape, homogeneous signal, mild or moderate enhancement, hydrosalpinx, or 
      intrauterine fluid accumulation. Our preliminary study shows that MRI can 
      identify the characteristic features of PFTC and differentiate PFTC from EOC.
