| Summary: | The uterus can be largely divided into the uterine corpus and uterine cervix. Diseases that can
occur in the uterine corpus, composed of the endometrium and myometrium, vary from benign
to malignant tumors. Ultrasound and CT are the primary non-invasive evaluation methods
to differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, but in some cases, they are difficult
to differentiate due to their non-specific imaging findings. However, magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), which has high resolution, helps not only in locating lesions but also in evaluating
histological characteristics and staging of malignant tumors. In this review article, the characteristic
MRI findings that radiologists should be aware of regarding various benign and malignant
tumors detected in the uterine corpus are summarized with their points of differentiation.
