Our case study of the month is an:
MRI of a Female Pelvis with and without IV Contrast

FINDINGS:
Uterus: The uterus is normal in size and contour. The cervix also appears normal in size and contour. No cervical mass is seen. There are a few small incidental nabothian cysts within the cervix. There is a 6mm benign-appearing cyst along the right vaginal formix. There is a small amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac which is likely physiologic.
