A 54-year-old postmenopausal female presented by abnormal vaginal bleeding. A, B Sagittal and axial T2 WIs irregular endometrial soft-tissue mass with ill-defined margins displaying intermediate SI (red arrow). The mass distends and fills the endometrial cavity with myometrial thinning. The mass also extends to the cervix (blue arrow). C Axial DWI with b value of 1000 s/mm2 high SI of the endometrial soft-tissue mass (red arrow). D Axial DW-ADC map image low signal intensity of the endometrial soft-tissue mass(red arrow). Mean DW-ADC value of the mass = 0.839 × 10−3 mm2/s. Mean DW-ADC values at areas of intact and infiltrated myometrium = 1.073 and 0.853 × 10−3 mm2/s, respectively. E, F Sagittal and axial DTI map images values of DT-FA and DT-MD in multiple ROI. Mean DT-FA and DT-MD values of the endometrial mass = 0.240 and 0.711 × 10−3mm2/s, respectively. Mean DT-FA and DT-MD values at areas of infiltrated myometrium = 0.215 and 0.683 × 10−3mm2/s, respectively. Mean DT-FA and DT-MD values at areas of intact myometrium = 0.423 and 1.069 × 10−3mm2/s, respectively. Diagnosis Pathologically proved endometrioid adenocarcinomaG3
