Diagnosis study of pathological findings,CT and MRI in primary centralnervous system lymphoma / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the pathological findings and diagnosis value of CT and MRI in detec-tion of primary centralnervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)so as to improve diagnostic accuracy of the condition. Methods The results of CT and MRI for 32 patients with PCNSL were analyzed retrospectively,and the results were compared with the finally obtained surgical-pathological examination.Results Of 32 cases,the foci were single in 29 cases and multiple in 4 cases,and there were 41 foci in total.Most foci were located near the surface or middle line of brain.On CT scan appearances,most foci were hyperdensity or slightly hyperdensity masses with the well definite margin,on MRI,it showed low signal of T1 -weighted imaging (T1 WI)and slightly increased non-uniform signal of T2 -weighted imaging (T2 WI).All the foci were equally and markedly enhanced after enhancement.The diagnostic coincident rate of combination diagnosis (93.8%)was significantly higher than that of CT (71.9%)and MRI (75.0%)(χ2 =7.234 6,P=0.003 2;χ2 =6.953 8,P=0.003 7).Conclusion CT,MRI have characteristic mani-festation for PCNSL,and according to the manifestation of CT,MRI,predilection site,mass effect,and combined with pathological examination,which can effectively improve the sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosis.
