摘要：

The authors describe the MRI findings, including diffusion-weighted imaging findings, of histopathologically proven uterine carcinosarcoma in four postmenopausal women. In three of four patients, diffusion-weighted images clearly revealed hypointense areas corresponding to hypocellular regions caused by intratumoral necrosis, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping images indicated that necrotic areas had high ADC values. In the remaining patient. diffusion-weighted and ADC mapping images clearly distinguished components of adenocarcinoma front sarcoma. In all patients, diffusion-weighted and ADC mapping, images precisely reflected histopathological findings. Diffusion-weighted images were found to demonstrate complicated tissue components in carcinosarcomas of the uterus, and thus, which may be useful for the diagnosis of this disease.
