MRI

 * Differential diagnosis at MR imaging includes adenomyosis, solid adnexal mass, focal myometrial contraction, and uterine leiomyosarcoma.
 * Nondegenerated uterine leiomyomas have a typical appearance at MR imaging: well-circumscribed masses of homogeneously decreased signal intensity compared with that of the outer myometrium on T2-weighted images.
 * Degenerated leiomyomas have variable appearances on T2-weighted images and contrast-enhanced images.
