Correlation between MRI (DWI and DCE) and cellularity of parotid gland pleomorphic adenomas.
European Archives of Oto-rhino-laryngology 2024 March 19
PURPOSE: Parotid pleomorphic adenomas present a risk of recurrence, higher when the tumour is a hypocellular subtype. The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to characterize this histological subtype with diffusion and perfusion sequences of the preoperative MRI.
METHODS: This retrospective study included 97 patients operated between 2010 and 2020. Histologic slides review was performed to classify tumours into three histologic subtypes: hypocellular, classical and hypercellular. Univariate and multivariate analyses studied the correlation between histology and diffusion and perfusion MRI parameters obtained with OleaSphere® software.
RESULTS: The hypocellular subtype had higher apparent diffusion coefficient values than the other two subtypes: 2.13 ± 0.23, 1.83 ± 0.42, and 1.61 ± 0.4 × 10-3 mm2 /s for hypocellular, classical and hypercellular subtype respectively (p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that an ADCmean > 1.88 × 10-3 mm2 /s was suggestive of a hypocellular pleomorphic adenoma in 79% of the cases, with a specificity and PPV of 94 and 96% (p < 0.001), respectively.
CONCLUSION: The histological subtype of a pleomorphic adenoma can be predicted preoperatively with ADC values. A prospective and multicentric study on a larger cohort is needed to confirm our results.
