ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate CT findings of abnormal bronchovascular bundle in patients with peripheral small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods The CT findings of abnormal bronchovascular bundle in 78 peripheral SCLC patients confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Abnormal bronchovascular bundle of peripheral SCLC was divided into three typestype Ⅰ (thickening of the bronchovascular bundle),type Ⅱ (string beads of bronchovascular bundle) and type Ⅲ (bronchial cast with bronchus cut-off).Results 41 of 78 patients had abnormal bronchovascular bundle,in which 26 cases were in type Ⅰ,10 in type Ⅱ,5 in type Ⅲ.Except for 1 case with no mediastinal lymph node metastasis among 41 cases with abnormal bronchovascular bundle,all other 40 cases had mediastinal lymph node metastasis.Conclusion The abnormal bronchovascular bundle could reflect the biologic character of SCLC.Abnormal bronchovascular bundle is associated with advanced patients.
