Abstract
- AIM To evaluate the usefulness of the 'cosmos pattern' (CP) on magnetic resonance (MR) images for differentiating between gastric-type mucin-positive lesions (GMPL) and gastric-type mucin-negative lesions (GMNL). METHODS This study included 131 patients with clinical suspicion of lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) who underwent pelvic MR imaging and a Pap smear and/or latex agglutination assay. Differences in MR findings, such as cyst and solid component patterns, cervical location and T1-weighted image (T1WI) signal intensity, were compared between GMPL and GMNL. The diagnostic performances of the findings were assessed. RESULTS The frequencies of CP (63.1%), upper part (UP) lesions (72.3%) and hypointense area compared with the cervical stroma on T1WI (61.3%) were significantly greater in GMPL than in GMNL (P
