Can MRI features differentiate ovarian mucinous carcinoma from mucinous borderline tumor?

•MRI findings between MCs and MBTs overlapped considerably.•MCs exhibited larger tumor size, larger MN size, and lower ADC values of MN.•MCs more frequently had MNs larger than 5 mm and abnormal ascites. Our purpose was to determine if MRI could be used to distinguish ovarian mucinous carcinoma (MC)...

Zusammenfassung:	•MRI findings between MCs and MBTs overlapped considerably.•MCs exhibited larger tumor size, larger MN size, and lower ADC values of MN.•MCs more frequently had MNs larger than 5 mm and abnormal ascites. Our purpose was to determine if MRI could be used to distinguish ovarian mucinous carcinoma (MC) from mucinous borderline tumor (MBT). This study included 63 consecutive patients with histopathologically proven ovarian mucinous neoplasms (11 MCs and 52 MBTs) who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced MRI. MRI images were retrospectively reviewed and compared between the 2 pathologies. The maximum tumor diameters (219.7 ± 80.8 mm vs. 177.4 ± 56.5 mm, p
