ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in pure prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: From January 2009 to February 2020, seven patients who were diagnosed with pure prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma and had a referable preoperative MRI scan were included in the study. We evaluated the following MRI findings for each tumor: size, location, presence of multi-cystic component, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value. RESULTS: The median maximum diameter of the tumors was 22 mm (range 19-70 mm). Regarding transverse distribution, five tumors were located in the periurethral area and two were located peripherally apart from the urethra. Two of the seven tumors had cystic components. The median ADC value of the tumors was 0.754 × 10-3 mm2/s (range 0.570-0.963 × 10-3 mm2/s). Based on the transverse distribution and components of the tumors on MRI, ductal adenocarcinomas were classified into three types: type I as a non-cystic tumor located peripherally apart from the urethra (29%, two cases); type II as a non-cystic tumor located in the periurethral area (43%, three cases); and type III as a tumor with a multi-cystic component (29%, two cases). CONCLUSION: The non-cystic mass with periurethral distribution (type II) and multi-cystic mass (type III) may be characteristic features that differentiate pure ductal adenocarcinoma from ordinary acinar adenocarcinoma on MRI.

ABSTRACT

ABSTARCT: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristic MRI, CT, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) findings of Wolffian tumor. METHODS: We reviewed preoperative images in four surgical cases of Wolffian tumor. MRI was available for review in all cases with additional diffusion-weighted images (DWI) in three, and contrast-enhanced images in two. CT was available in three. FDG-PET/CT was obtained in two. RESULTS: Two patients were asymptomatic, while the other two presented with acute abdomen. On MRI, all tumors were well-defined masses of increased signals on T2WI. Three tumors were solid, whereas the other was solid and cystic. The normal ipsilateral ovary was identified in two patients of reproductive ages, but not in two postmenopausal patients. Tumors in two patients presented with acute abdomen were complicated by hemorrhage. All three tumors evaluated on DWI showed high intensities. Contrast-enhanced images of MRI and CT showed homogeneous enhancement as the same degree as the myometrium. On CT, one tumor contained punctate calcifications. FDG-PET/CT showed moderate FDG accumulation. CONCLUSION: Wolffian tumors may be typically solid extraovarian tumors occasionally associated with cysts and calcifications. Although they are benign, they mimic malignancy due to high intensities on DWI and increased FDG accumulation.
