Value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of pyomyoma

Pyomyomas are rare lesions that develop from the suppurative degeneration of ischemic leiomyomas. Pyomyomas can lead to sepsis, so early diagnosis is crucial. Due to their rarity and often nonspecific findings on ultrasonography and computed tomography diagnosis is often delayed. We present a case o...
