ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the imaging features of complicated lymphocele after the pelvic lymph node dissection.Methods:
After pelvic lymph nodes dissection, lymphoceles in pelvic cavity of 47 patients with gynecological malignant tumor were found by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and all of these imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:
All of 47 cases had lymphoceles in pelvic cavity, and the number of lymph node lesion was 52 (30 were at left side of pelvis, 22 were at right side of pelvis); the distribution of most lymphocele were around of external vein and artery of iliac; the main MRI features were roundness, oval, reniform or dumb-bell shape with smooth and uniform lymphocele wall, and the intracystic manifestations were long T1signal and long T2signal; the manifestation of DWI was high signal of limited dispersion; after enhancement scan, the wall of lymphocele and intracyst appeared middle reinforcement signal, and there was no obvious reinforcement signal in cystic contents.Conclusion:
There are characteristic MRI imaging manifestations in lymphocele, and the diagnosis of MRI is reliable and accurate.
