摘要
目的:分析胸腺类癌的CT影像特点,探讨CT的诊断价值。方法:回顾性分析8例经病理证实的胸腺类癌患者资料,所有患者均行CT平扫和增强扫描。结果:胸腺类癌CT均表现为前纵隔肿块,形态不规则,增强扫描明显不均匀强化。本组初始诊断1例为胸腺类癌,7例为胸腺瘤,其中4例为侵袭性。结论:胸腺类癌的最终诊断需依靠病理学,但CT能很好地显示胸腺类癌的形态、范围,指导手术及提示预后。
Objective:To study the CT features of thymic carcinoid and to discuss the value of CT in the diagnosis and therapy of the disease.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 8 patients confirmed by histology was done.Native and contrast scan were performed on all patients.Results:CT scan of the group displayed soft tissue mass located in the anterior mediastium and enhanced moderately or markedly after bolus injection of contrast medium.One patient was diagnosed with thymic carcinoid while 7 patients were diagnosed with thymoma at first.The 4 cases of so called thymoma were supposed to be invasive.Conclusion:CT could not only demonstrate the location and shape of thymic carcinoid but also help surgeon to plan operation and estimate the prognosis.The final diagnosis depends on pathology.
