  		Fig. 1A. —48-year-old woman with xanthogranulomatous oophoritis. Axial T2-weighted turbo spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 3900/99) (A) and axial T2-weighted image obtained 15 mm caudad to A(B) reveal right-sided xanthogranulomatous oophoritis (solid arrows) with high signal intensity (similar to that of water) and multiple low-signal-intensity internal septations. Lesion shows unevenly thickened wall with multiple clustered hyperintense nodules (arrowheads). Left-sided hemorrhagic cyst (open arrows) shows three chambers with high signal intensity.

  		Fig. 1D. —48-year-old woman with xanthogranulomatous oophoritis. On fat-suppressed T1-weighted MR image obtained after gadolinium enhancement, right-sided xanthogranulomatous oophoritis shows marked enhancement of thickened wall (arrowheads) and multiple clustered unenhanced intramural nodules (arrows).

  		Fig. 1E. —48-year-old woman with xanthogranulomatous oophoritis. Photograph of histopathologic specimen of right-sided xanthogranulomatous oophoritis shows yellowish intramural nodules (arrows) representing xanthogranuloma within thickened wall.

  		Fig. 1F. —48-year-old woman with xanthogranulomatous oophoritis. Photomicrograph of histopathologic specimen shows abundant foamy histiocytes, multinucleated giant cells, and chronic inflammatory cells. (H and E, x100)
