The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been
reported useful in the qualitative diagnosis of tumors
and changes that occur as a result of treatment. ADC
value is well accepted as a means to differentiate
between malignant and benign tumor. It is difficult
differentiate between ovarian polypoid endometriosis (OPE)
and ovarian endometrioma with malignant tumor (OEMT)
because both the tumors contained solid components. We
evaluated ADC values whether we could differentiate
between OPE and OEMT.
