Two patients with tuberculous abscess in the hepatoduodenal ligament were studied. Both patients underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan. The abscess showed a low density with an irregular thick wall in the hepatoduodenal ligament on CT images, the margin was poorly defined. Contrast-enhanced CT images showed the contrast-enhanced thick wall, homogeneous and peripheral-enhanced lymph nodes. Although features of the tuberculous abscess in the hepatoduodenal ligament could be conspicuously shown with contrast-enhanced CT, further experience is needed to evaluate the potential value of CT in detecting early tuberculous abscess in relation to other entities in the hepatoduodenal ligament.
对两名肝十二指肠韧带结核性脓肿患者进行了研究。两名患者均接受了增强计算机断层扫描(CT)。CT图像上,脓肿在肝十二指肠韧带处呈低密度,壁不规则增厚,边界不清。增强CT图像显示增厚的壁强化、均匀强化的淋巴结及周边强化的淋巴结。尽管增强CT能清晰显示肝十二指肠韧带结核性脓肿的特征,但在评估CT检测肝十二指肠韧带早期结核性脓肿相对于其他病变的潜在价值方面,仍需要更多经验。
