To describe computed tomographic (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), ultrasonographic (US), and angiographic findings of retroperitoneal malignant mesenchymoma with emphasis on CT findings.
Five CT, four US, four angiography, and two MR studies were obtained in five patients with pathologically proven retroperitoneal malignant mesenchymoma.
Tumors were larger than 10 cm (n = 4), well-circumscribed and heterogeneous (n = 4), and with massive intratumorous calcifications (n = 3) on plain CT or US. Tumors showed heterogeneous enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT scans (n = 4) and moderate hypervascularity with heterogeneous staining on angiography (n = 3). Tumors were essentially hypointense on T1-weighted MR images (n = 2) and heterogeneous hyperintense on T2-weighted MR images (n = 2). Plain CT showed a fat-dense structure in a tumor in one patient.
The radiologic findings of large expansile heterogeneous masses in the retroperitoneum, especially with massive calcifications, were considered to be typical of malignant mesenchymomas.
描述腹膜后恶性间叶瘤的计算机断层扫描(CT)、磁共振成像(MR)、超声(US)及血管造影表现,重点关注CT表现。
对5例经病理证实的腹膜后恶性间叶瘤患者进行了5次CT、4次US、4次血管造影及2次MR检查。
肿瘤直径大于10 cm(n = 4),边界清晰且密度不均(n = 4),平扫CT或US显示瘤内大量钙化(n = 3)。增强CT扫描肿瘤呈不均匀强化(n = 4),血管造影显示中度血供丰富且染色不均(n = 3)。T1加权MR图像上肿瘤基本呈低信号(n = 2),T2加权MR图像上呈不均匀高信号(n = 2)。1例患者的平扫CT显示肿瘤内有脂肪密度结构。
腹膜后出现较大的膨胀性不均匀肿块,尤其是伴有大量钙化,其影像学表现被认为是恶性间叶瘤的典型表现。
