¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT features of Meigs syndrome induced by ovarian sex cord stromal tumors: a retrospective clinical study.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was retrospectively to analyze the clinical characteristics and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT findings in Meigs syndrome (MS) patients. A total of 21 patients with MS induced by ovarian stromal tumors and 69 patients with pseudo-MS caused by ovarian cancer (OC-PMS) were subjected to evaluation using ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. Visual and semi-quantitative methods were employed to analyze the PET/CT findings. Visual analysis included recording whether the density of the primary tumor was uniform, whether there were cystic changes and calcifications, and the location of serous fluid accumulation. Semi-quantitative analysis involved the measurement of the tumor size, SUVmax, and SUVmean. No significant difference was observed in the size and density of primary tumors be
