The rim sign in the pelvic masses

Abstract

Drip infusion urography and pelvic angiography were performed in 15 women with pelvic masses in women duringthe period from Aug. 1974 to March 1976. A thin curvilinear opacification along the margin of the tumor("rim"sign) was demonstrated i not only in two cases of dermoid cyst but also in tow cases of chronic tubo-ovarianabsceess. The uterine tumors such as myoma, leiomyosarcoma, or choriocarcinoma, however, did not present "rim"sign. DIU and pelvic angiogoraphy were reliable procedures in radiological differential diagnosis of pelvic masslesions in women.
