OBJECTIVE: The origin of pseudomyxoma peritoneii (PMP) has been established as low-grade appendiceal mucinous tumors (AMT). However, intestinal-type ovarian mucinous tumors are known as another source of PMP. Recently, it is advocated that ovarian mucinous tumors causing PMP originates from teratomas. However, AMTs are often too small to detect on imaging; then, differentiating metastatic ovarian tumors of AMT from ovarian teratoma-associated mucinous tumors (OTAMT) is important. Therefore, this study investigates the MR characteristics of OTAMT compared to the ovarian metastasis of AMT...
