ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of multislice spiral CT enterography(MSCTE) in patients with primary tumors of the small intestine.Methods Clinical data of 40 patients with primary tumors of the small intestine from Jan.2011 to Dec.2013 were analyzed.All patients were underwent MSCTE examination.Analyzed the coincidence rate between diagnostic results and pathological diagnosis.Results Pathological diagnosis of all patients showed that 15 cases were with small intestinal stromal tumors,10 cases with primary intestinal adenocarcinoma,9 cases with intestinal lymphoma and 6 cases with leiomyoma.The diagnoses of MSCTE were as follows:Twelve cases were with gastro intestinalstromaltumors,10 cases with primary intestinal adenocarcinoma,9 cases with intestinal lymphoma and 9 cases with leiomyoma.Consistency test(Kappa test) results showed that there was a good consistency between two dignosis methods(Kappa values =0.71).The coincidence rate of MSCTE in the diagnosis of primary tumors of the small intestine was 92.5％.Conclusion MSCTE is a convenient and safe method with high degree of accuracy,which provides a broad prospect for the diagnosis of primary tumors of the small intestine.
