Gynecological malignancies predominantly affect the older female population. The standard surgical management may involve radical hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy or combinations of both. A significant number of patients however, are of child-bearing age and in this group, preservation of fertility is a key management consideration. Imaging is effective, and essential, in assisting with patient selection for fertility-sparing surgical procedures via staging of disease in accordance with the FIGO staging system. The recognition of the radiological appearances (and pitfalls) is vital in order to ensure successful oncologic and obstetric outcomes in this cohort of patients.
