1. To discuss the wide spectrum of solid ovarian neoplasms. 2. To review histogenesis, tumor biology & salient imaging findings of solid ovarian tumors. 3. To correlate imaging findings with gross and histopathology  

There are many kinds of ovarian tumors and tumor like conditions that present with pure solid mass on imaging. Detection of pure solid mass or predominantly solid mass on imaging has distinct differential diagnosis and adds immense value in preoperative histologic prediction. Also detection of a pure solid mass on imaging virtually excludes the most common ovarian serous and mucinous epithelial neoplasms. Among the solid ovarian tumors detection of hyperestrogenic effects, low T2 signal, calcification and preservation of normal physiologic follicles helps in even further pinpointing to the histology of tumor. Granulosa cell tumor and thecoma are well-known estrogen-producing tumors and associated with endometrial thickening, carneous degeneration of fibroid and hepatic congestion. Among the other solid tumors, low T2 signal is typical for brenner tumor, fibroma and fibromatosis whereas calcification is common in brenner tumor, leiomyoma and dysgerminoma.Presevation of normal follicles can be seen with fibromatosis and lymphoma.
