Pathology comparative study on the characteristic CT signs in solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas.
Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine 2017 June
In order to analyze characteristic CT signs in the solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 49 patients with pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas who where treated in Liaoning Cancer Hospital. All of the patients were confirmed by pathology, CT signs were analyzed and a pathology contrast was conducted. Furthermore, all cases had single lesions; 7 cases in the pancreatic head, 23 cases in the pancreatic body, 15 cases in the pancreatic body-tail and 4 cases in the pancreatic tail. The boundaries of the lesions were clear and the tumors, which may outline the pancreas, were composed of solid and polycystic parts. In addition, calcifications could be observed in the lesions and CT results revealed varying degrees of contrast enhancement of the solid components in the arterial phase, as well as a gradual contrast enhancement in the venous and delayed phase. Enhancement of capsule could be observed, and the enhancement region was observed in the solid part, no enhancement in cystic part.. In conclusion, CT manifestations of solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are specific, which is helpful to the diagnosis.
