This study describes the appearance of Brenner tumors on MR imaging and compares quantitative signal intensity measurements of Brenner tumors with that of other ovarian tumors. A search of pathologic and MR records disclosed patients who had MRIs showing Brenner tumors prior to surgical excision. Patients (21) with other surgically proven ovarian masses were randomly selected for comparison. MR imaging was performed at 1.5 T with phased array multicoils and fast spin echo T2-weighted images. Region-of-interest measurements of signal intensity (SI) were made to calculate signal intensity ratios (SIR = mass SI/muscle SI). Brenner tumors showed significantly lower SIR than other tumors on T2-weighted images (p = 0.004) and similar SIR on T1-weighted images. Brenner tumors show lower signal intensity on T2-weighted images than other non-fibrous ovarian tumors. This lower signal intensity may result from the extensive fibrous content of these tumors.
