To study age, gender and sites of malignant head and neck tumours on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and to elucidate its role.
The retrospective study was conducted at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, and comprised data of patients with histologically proven malignant head and neck tumours reporting from February 2013 to February 2014. Contrast enhanced computed tomography with puffed cheek technique was done in cases of oral cancer, while routine contrast computed tomography was done in cases of other head and neck tumours. SPSS 19 was used for statistical analysis.
A total of 100 biopsy-proven cases of malignant tumours comprised the study sample. The male: female ratio was 1.5:1 with an overall mean age of 46.4±16-76 years. . The most common histopathologically proven tumour was squamous cell carcinoma affecting oral mucosa 43(43%), followed by larynx 27(27%) and pharynx 10(10%) .
Oral squamous cell carcinoma was the commonest tumour. Compute tomography scan with puffed cheek technique played a beneficial role in locating the site of primary tumour.
通过对比增强计算机断层扫描研究头颈部恶性肿瘤的年龄、性别及部位,并阐明其作用。
本回顾性研究在卡拉奇真纳研究生医学中心进行,纳入了2013年2月至2014年2月期间组织学确诊的头颈部恶性肿瘤患者的数据。口腔癌患者采用含气颊部技术进行对比增强计算机断层扫描,其他头颈部肿瘤患者则进行常规对比计算机断层扫描。使用SPSS 19进行统计分析。
本研究样本共包括100例经活检证实的恶性肿瘤病例。男女比例为1.5:1,总体平均年龄为46.4±16 - 76岁。组织病理学证实最常见的肿瘤是影响口腔黏膜的鳞状细胞癌,共43例(43%),其次是喉癌27例(27%)和咽癌10例(10%)。
口腔鳞状细胞癌是最常见的肿瘤。含气颊部技术的计算机断层扫描在确定原发肿瘤部位方面发挥了有益作用。
