Can a T2 hyperintense rim sign differentiate uterine leiomyomas from other solid adnexal masses?

A high T2 signal rim sign was present for up to 23% of uterine leiomyomas and the T2 FS sequence detected this rim sign most frequently. Up to 40% of ovarian fibromas can also have a T2 rim sign and, therefore, a solid adnexal mass with a T2 rim sign cannot be assumed to represent a pedunculated leiomyoma.
