Compared analysis of CT features and pathology of pulmonary solitary fibrous tumor / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the CT features and pathology of pulmonary solitary fibrous tumor (SFT),to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods CT images and corresponding pathological results of 14 cases with pulmonary SFT were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 14 cases,6 were in the right lung and other 8 were in the left.The maximum diameters of tumors were ranged from 2.5 cm to 20.0 cm,and 6 cases were over 10.0 cm.All 14 cases represented as irregular solid nodule or mass,4 as unclear boundary and 1 as lobulation.Most of the cases showed heterogeneous and progressive enhancement.The light microscopy showed that tumor tissues were mainly composed of collagen fibers and spindle cells with different proliferation degrees,and 3 cases showed atypia cells.There were abundant blood vessels in the intercellular substance.Immunohistochemistry were done in 13 cases,presenting Bcl-2,CD99 and Vimentin positive expressions in all cases and CD34 expression in 9.Conclusion The CT features of pulmonary SFT are related to pathological features.CT scan is important in the localization and qualitative diagnosis of pulmonary SFT,and obvious inhomogeneous map-like and progressive enhancement should be considered for the diagnosis of SFT.
