Intracranial gliomas and lymphomas may share similar radiological manifestations, while the treatment strategies for them are different. The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic value of fluorine-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) positron emission computed tomography (PET) for differentiation of multicentric gliomas and intracranial multiple diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) as a study of diagnostic accuracy.A total of 32 patients with multiple intracranial tumors visualized on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were retrospectively evaluated. Histopathological findings confirmed multicentric gliomas and multiple DLBCLs in 17 and 15 patients, respectively. All patients underwent F-FDG PET with or without C-methionine PET. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and tumor-to-normal tissue (T/N) ratios were compared between the 2 tumors. The diagnostic value of F-FDG PET for differentiating multicentric gliomas from multiple DLBCLs was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.The SUVmax of multiple DLBCLs was significantly higher than that of multicentric gliomas (P = .009). However, the percentage of maximum difference-value of SUVmax (or T/N ratio) of multiple DLBCLs was significant lower than that of multicentric gliomas (P < .001). The ROC curve demonstrated that the percentage of maximum difference-value of SUVmax (or T/N ratio) on F-FDG PET images could effectively differentiate multicentric gliomas from multiple DLBCLs, with a cut-off value of 44.4%, sensitivity of 64.7%, and specificity of 100% (P < .001).Percentage of maximum difference-value of SUVmax (or T/N ratio) on F-FDG PET images might be a potential indicator for distinguishing multicentric gliomas from intracranial multiple DLBCLs, which might help determine the treatment strategy.
颅内胶质瘤和淋巴瘤可能具有相似的影像学表现,但其治疗策略不同。本研究的目的是探讨氟-18-氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖(F-FDG)正电子发射计算机断层显像(PET)在鉴别多中心胶质瘤和颅内多发弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)中的诊断价值,作为一项诊断准确性研究。对32例在对比增强磁共振成像(MRI)上显示有多个颅内肿瘤的患者进行了回顾性评估。组织病理学结果分别证实17例患者为多中心胶质瘤,15例患者为多发DLBCL。所有患者均接受了F-FDG PET检查,部分患者还接受了C-蛋氨酸PET检查。比较了两种肿瘤的最大标准化摄取值(SUVmax)和肿瘤与正常组织(T/N)比值。通过受试者操作特征(ROC)分析评估F-FDG PET对鉴别多中心胶质瘤和多发DLBCL的诊断价值。多发DLBCL的SUVmax显著高于多中心胶质瘤(P = 0.009)。然而,多发DLBCL的SUVmax(或T/N比值)最大差值百分比显著低于多中心胶质瘤(P < 0.001)。ROC曲线显示,F-FDG PET图像上SUVmax(或T/N比值)最大差值百分比可有效鉴别多中心胶质瘤和多发DLBCL,截断值为44.4%,灵敏度为64.7%,特异性为100%(P < 0.001)。F-FDG PET图像上SUVmax(或T/N比值)最大差值百分比可能是区分多中心胶质瘤和颅内多发DLBCL的潜在指标,这可能有助于确定治疗策略。
