Abstract

A large spectrum of pathologic pelvic conditions can present with hemorrhage in structures or organs. These may present acutely, subacutely, chronically or as incidental findings. Clinical history and MRI characteristics can often narrow the differential diagnosis and guide management. The purpose of this article is to showcase a wide array of pelvic lesions, in which the presence of blood is a key imaging feature, and their differential diagnosis.
