A 30-year-old nulligravid woman with a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome presented for evaluation of left adnexal mass. The patient was referred to the gynecologic oncology clinic after endorsing signs of abdominal pain for a month and the pelvis ultrasound demonstrated hypoechoic solid mass in the left ovary. Magnetic resonance imaging with T1- and T2-weighted images demonstrated progressive centripetal "filling-in" of the mass suggesting a unique variation of malignant ovarian mass, similar to what is seen in hepatic hemangioma. Upon resection of the ovarian mass, pathology reported that the mass was filled with numerous small blood vessels with single later of endothelial cells confirming the diagnosis of ovarian hemangioma, capillary-type-a rare finding.

Article Synopsis
- Ovarian hemangioma is a rare tumor, with about 60 cases reported, but only around 10 investigated using MRI and ultrasound, often found by chance during autopsies or surgeries.
- A case study details a 51-year-old woman with an asymptomatic ovarian hemangioma, discovered through a raised CA125 level and MRI, which showed a cystic solid mass in the left ovary.
- The conclusion highlights that the MRI features of ovarian hemangiomas resemble those of liver hemangiomas, underlining the need for awareness of these radiological traits for better diagnosis and treatment.
