Characteristic manifestations of disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis on multislice spiral CT / 中华全科医师杂志

Clinical data and manifestations on muhi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) of 11 patients with disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) were retrospectively reviewed.The CT manifestations were also compared with surgical and histopathological findings.MSCT findings showed a large amount of gel-like ascites in 9 cases and local cystic masses in 2 cases.Among 9 cases with a large amount ascites,abdominal multiple cystic masses were shown in 5 case,and infiltration of the greater omentum and mesentery in 5 cases.Hepatic scalloping was found in 6 cases ; parenchymal invasion of the liver or spleen were showed in 5 cases; calcification of the cystic masses in 5 cases.Ovary mueinous cystadenoma was presented in 3 female patients.Enlarged lymph nodes and omental cake were not found in all cases.The results indicate that the characteristic MSCT manifestations of DPAM include diffuse gel-like ascites,multiple cystic masses with or without calcification,hepatic scalloping and parenchyma invasion.

aused by pulmonary cryptococcus infection.Conclusions CT-gnided ACNB was a feasible, safe and accurate method for diagnosing pulmonary lesions, pulmonary malignant lesions less than 20 mm in diameter and complicated with pulmonary maybe affect accuracy.

Analysis on Imaging Characteristics of Gastric Lipoma / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To analyze the imaging characteristics of gastric lipoma.Methods The clinical appearances and imaging characteristics such as size,margin,density or intensity,ulceration and so on of gastric lipomas in 13 cases were retrospectively analysed.Results 13 gastric lipomas were all solitary and intracavitary growth,origined from submucosal of every part of stomach.6 gastric lipomas showed submucosal filling defect and soft gastric wall,3 cases with ulcer presenting "bull eye sign" on barium meal.8 gastric lipomas on CT showed variable-size round or oval low-density masses with-50~-120 HU CT value.2 gastric lipomas on MRI were high intensity on T1/T2WI and low intensity on fat supression T2WI.Conclusion X-ray,CT and MRI are of respective value in diagnosing the gastric lipoma.

CT Appearances of the Uncommon Neoplasms of the Paranasal Sinuses and Nasal Cavity / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the CT features of the uncommon neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity and related differentiate diagnosis.Methods CT manifestation of 26 cases with uncommon neoplasm of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity confirmed by histopathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 9 cases of common malignant neoplasm. Results All cases had soft-tissue mass with sinusitis in most cases (27/35).In benign group, 7 cases appeared as common benign tumor except for the hemangioma with marked enhancement and meningioma with calcification . In the malignant group, melanoma was small in volume and malignant granuloma was in infiltrative growth .The others had common appearances of malignancies.Conclusion CT signs are not characteristic in most cases compared with the common neoplasms. Surface configuration, bony change and circumstances are the main considerations in differentiate diagnosis and should be related to clinical and pathological materials..

CT and MRI Features of Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To study the CT and MRI features of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor(PNET).Methods CT and MRI appearances of 10 patients with PNET pathologically proved were analyzed retrospectively.All cases underwent CT scan and 2 cases underwent MR imaging examination.There were 5 men and 5 women,the age ranged from 11 years to 54 years old(mean 24 years).Results The tumors were located in the chest wall(n=4),abdomen and sinus(n=2,each),cervical vertebra and humerus(n=1,each).The lesions in the chest wall and abdomen appeared as larger masses(5~16 cm in diameter).The masses were circular and lobulated with heterogeneous density and in company with bone destruction or periosteal reaction.The solid masses were enhanced after contrast medium administration.The lesions in the sinus showed the soft tissue mass with bone erosion.The lesions in bone demonstrated local iso-intensity on T1WI,hyper-intensity on FSE T2WI and on FATSAT T2WI.There were distant metastasis in 3 cases.Conclusion The clinical and imaging features of pPNET in chest wall were more specific than in other locations.CT and MRI can showed intra-tumor structure,and are helpful in delineated the extent of tumor,predicting resectability and monitoring treatment.
