Fig. 3 A 71-year-old woman with newly diagnosed FIGO stage IIIC ovarian cancer with a suspected malignant cardiophrenic lymph node on axial diffusionweighted MRI with body background suppression
(DWIBS, b = 800 s/mm2), without histopathological correlation (a). The same lymph node did not fulfill the size criteria (5 mm cut-off value) for malignancy on contrastenhanced CT (b)

Fig. 4 A 61-year-old woman, initially with FIGO IIIC high grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Late recurrence after 10 years was established on CT performed due to upper right abdominal pain. Enlarged, metastatic, cardio-
carcinoma was proven in pleural fluid following histopathological analysis. A considerable decrease in the cardiophrenic lymph nodes’ size was observed after six chemotherapy cycles, indicating good response to therapy.
