To investigate diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for differentiating borderline from malignant epithelial tumours of the ovary. This retrospective study included 60 borderline epithelial ovarian tumours (BEOTs) in 48 patients and 65 malignant epithelial ovarian tumours (MEOTs) in 54 patients. DW imaging as well as conventional MR imaging was performed. Signal intensity on DW imaging was assessed and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was measured. The results were correlated with histopathology and cell density. The majority of MEOTs showed high signal intensity on DW imaging, whereas most BEOTs showed low or moderate signal intensity (P = 0.000). The mean ADC value of the solid components in BEOTs (1.562 +/- 0.346 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s) was significantly higher than in MEOTs (0.841 +/- 0.209 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s). A threshold value of 1.039 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s permitted the distinction with a sensitivity of 97.0 %, a specificity of 92.2 % and an accuracy of 96.4 %. There was an inverse correlation between ADC value and cell density (r = -0.609; P = 0.0000) which was significantly lower in BEOTs than in MEOTs. DW imaging is useful for differentiating borderline from malignant epithelial tumours of the ovary. aEuro cent DW MR imaging is useful for differentiating BEOTs from MEOTs. aEuro cent Patients with BEOTs are treated differently from patients with MEOTs. aEuro cent Conservative fertility-sparing laparoscopic surgery can be performed in patients with BEOTs. aEuro cent BEOTs often affect young women of childbearing age.
