A 50-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 (blue arrow). The mass distends and fills the endometrial cavity with myometrial thinning (red arrow). No cervical extension (yellow arrow). C Axial DWI with b value of 1000 s/mm2 high SI of the endometrial soft-tissue mass denoting restricted diffusion (red arrow). D Axial DW-ADC map image shows low signal intensity of the endometrial soft-tissue mass (red arrow). Mean DW-ADC value of the mass = 0.784 × 10−3mm2/s. Mean DW-ADC values at areas of intact and infiltrated myometrium = 1.247 and 0.805 × 10−3mm2/s, respectively. E, F Sagittal and axial DTI map images values of DT-FA and DT-ADC (MD) in multiple ROI. Mean DT-FA and DT-MD values of the endometrial mass = 0.181 and 0.508 × 10−3mm2/s, respectively. Mean DT-FA and DT-ADC (MD) values at areas of infiltrated myometrium = 0.193 and 0.597 × 10−3mm2/s, respectively. Mean DT-FA and DT-ADC (MD) values at areas of intact myometrium = 0.517 and 1.367 × 10−3 mm2/s, respectively. Diagnosis Pathologically proved endometrial papillary serous carcinoma
