Computed tomography (CT) was also obtained in one case. The neoplasms were solid, hypoechoic masses, usually exhibiting good through transmission of sound. Two neoplasms contained peripheral calcifications; one was inseparable from the uterus and was misdiagnosed as a leiomyoma; the other was well-demonstrated by CT but only in retrospect was the peripherally located calcification identified. Sonographically, Brenner tumors are similar to other solid ovarian neoplasms, particularly fibromas-thecomas, and can also be confused with pedunculated leiomyomas.
