Abdominal CT of 230 patients (310 CT examinations) with a diagnosis of malignant melanoma was retrospectively reviewed for the evaluation of small bowel and mesenteric involvement. Seventeen (7.4%) patients had evidence of small bowel and mesenteric involvement on CT. There were four distinct patterns of disease: (a) intraluminal masses in 3 patients; (b) ulcerating lesions in 2; (c) diffuse infiltration in 6; (d) implants in 10. Four patients had more than two patterns of involvement. Of the 10 patients with tumor implants, carcinomatosis was noted in 2. Two patients had intussusception and 4 had extensive mesenteric nodal involvement. Of the 17 patients, 12 (71%) had at least one symptom referable to the gastrointestinal tract, while 5 (29%) were clinically asymptomatic. Fourteen of the 17 patients (82%) had additional intraabdominal metastases to sites other than small bowel and mesentery.
对230例诊断为恶性黑色素瘤的患者(310次CT检查)的腹部CT进行回顾性分析,以评估小肠和肠系膜受累情况。17例(7.4%)患者CT显示有小肠和肠系膜受累。有四种不同的疾病模式:(a)3例患者为腔内肿块;(b)2例为溃疡性病变;(c)6例为弥漫性浸润;(d)10例为种植转移。4例患者有两种以上受累模式。在10例有肿瘤种植转移的患者中,2例发现有癌性腹膜炎。2例患者发生肠套叠,4例有广泛的肠系膜淋巴结受累。17例患者中,12例(71%)至少有一项与胃肠道相关的症状,而5例(29%)临床无症状。17例患者中有14例(82%)除小肠和肠系膜外还有其他腹内转移。
