Five patients with liposarcomas of the thigh were studied using positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose (FDG). There were three low-grade tumors (all National Cancer Institute Grade 1 myxoid liposarcomas) and two high-grade tumors (both pleomorphic liposarcomas, Grades 2 and 3). The low-grade liposarcomas were easily identified with an average dose uptake ratio (DUR) of 1.38 +/- 0.045 (mean +/- SD). The high-grade lesions were more avid for FDG with a mean DUR of 2.45 +/- 0.24. There was a significant difference (p = 0.004) in the DUR for the two groups and the histological grade of malignancy was highly correlated with the DUR for FDG (Rho = 0.89). These findings suggest that FDG-PET may be useful for distinguishing between low-grade and high-grade liposarcomas.
对5例大腿脂肪肉瘤患者使用[18F]2-脱氧-2-氟葡萄糖(FDG)进行正电子发射断层扫描(PET)研究。其中有3例低级别肿瘤(均为美国国立癌症研究所1级黏液样脂肪肉瘤)和2例高级别肿瘤(均为多形性脂肪肉瘤,2级和3级)。低级别脂肪肉瘤很容易识别,平均剂量摄取率(DUR)为1.38±0.045(均值±标准差)。高级别病变对FDG摄取更活跃,平均DUR为2.45±0.24。两组的DUR存在显著差异(p = 0.004),恶性组织学分级与FDG的DUR高度相关(Rho = 0.89)。这些发现表明,FDG-PET可能有助于区分低级别和高级别脂肪肉瘤。
