The purpose of this work was to investigate the usefulness of PET with [18F]2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) in the differential diagnosis and grading of chondrosarcomas.
Four enchondromas, one osteochondroma, and six chondrosarcomas were prospectively studied by FDG-PET. The significance of the standardized uptake value (SUV) was evaluated in comparison with clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of the tumors.
The SUV ranged from 0.7 to 1.3 (mean 0.96+/-0.22) in benign cartilage tumors and from 1.3 to 3.3 (2.23+/-0.80) in chondrosarcomas. This SUV difference between benign and malignant tumors was statistically significant (p = 0.011) in contrast to considerable overlap of clinical and radiological findings. Among chondrosarcomas, the SUV of one Grade I tumor was 1.3; those of four Grade II tumors were 1.3, 1.9, 2.5, and 3.1; and that of one Grade III tumor was 3.3.
Our preliminary study showed that FDG-PET could be an objective and quantitative adjunct in the differential diagnosis and grading of chondrosarcomas.
本研究旨在探讨[18F]2-脱氧-2-氟-D-葡萄糖(FDG)PET在软骨肉瘤鉴别诊断及分级中的应用价值。
对4例内生软骨瘤、1例骨软骨瘤及6例软骨肉瘤进行前瞻性FDG-PET研究。将标准化摄取值(SUV)与肿瘤的临床、放射学及组织病理学表现进行比较,评估其意义。
良性软骨肿瘤的SUV范围为0.7至1.3(平均0.96±0.22),软骨肉瘤的SUV范围为1.3至3.3(2.23±0.80)。与临床和放射学表现存在相当程度的重叠不同,良性与恶性肿瘤之间的SUV差异具有统计学意义(p = 0.011)。在软骨肉瘤中,1例I级肿瘤的SUV为1.3;4例II级肿瘤的SUV分别为1.3、1.9、2.5和3.1;1例III级肿瘤的SUV为3.3。
我们的初步研究表明,FDG-PET可作为软骨肉瘤鉴别诊断及分级的一种客观、定量的辅助手段。
