Imaging of an invasive malignant thymoma on PET Scan: CT and histopathologic correlation

Thymomas are common primary mediastinal neoplasms. They can be benign or malignant. The diagnosis of malignant thymomas is based on capsular invasion, cellular atypia and distant metastases. We present a case of invasive malignant thymoma as diagnosed on PET and CT scan with histologic correlation and review of literature. A seventy year old Asian man presented with cough and dyspnea. A CT scan showed an anterior mediastinal mass, and a PET scan showed a hypermetabolic mass in the corresponding location. Resection of the mass revealed a minimally invasive thymoma based on evidence of capsular invasion. PET scan proved invaluable in correctly diagnosing, staging the lesion, and excluding any extramediastinal involvement.     

Computed tomography findings in 66 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma due to environmental exposure to asbestos

We aimed to investigate the computed tomography (CT) findings of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) caused by environmental asbestos exposure. We retrospectively reviewed CT scans of 66 patients, which were performed before any invasive procedure was done. Pleural effusion (80.3%), pleural thickening (77.2%), volume contraction (37.9%), involvement of mediastinal pleura (31.8%) and interlobar fissure (28.8%) were the most common CT findings of MPM. Although none of these findings are pathognomonic for MPM, they may provide valuable clues for the differential diagnosis, at least in patients with a history of asbestos exposure.     

MR imaging of thymoma--comparison with CT, operative, and pathological findings]

Twenty-six patients with thymoma, who had magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) before surgery, were studied. Twenty-six thymomas were classified into 11 non-invasive thymomas (Masaoka's clinical stage I) and 15 invasive thymomas (stage II, III, and IV). On MR imaging compared with histological findings, low signal intensity rim of the tumor was corresponded to fibrous capsule of the tumor, and linear and/or reticular low signal intensity lines in the tumor were corresponded to the fibrous septae dividing thymoma into lobules. The detectability of these findings by MR imaging was superior to that by CT. Margin of the tumor was smooth in non-invasive thymoma rather than invasive thymoma. The diagnostic accuracy of invasion to vessel, and pleura or lung on MR imaging and CT was compared with operative and histological findings. MR imaging was same as CT in its ability to detect tumoral invasion to vessel, and slightly superior to pleura or lung. In conclusion MR images clearly show the findings corresponding to pathologic specimens, and MR imaging combining with CT is useful to differentiate non-invasive thymoma to invasive thymoma.     

Gd－DTPA增强MRI对肺癌的分期价值

利用平扫和Ｇｄ－ＤＴＰＡ（二乙二胺五醋酸钆·马根维显）增强ＭＲＩ图像对３８例原发性支气管肺癌的ＴＮＭ分期进行了分析，并与ＣＴ和病理分期结果进行了对照。重点评估了Ｔ因素分期的四项指标：（１）侵犯胸膜；（２）侵入纵隔；（３）与周围肺组织继发性改变（阻塞性肺炎和肺不张）的鉴别；（４）胸内淋巴结转移。结果显示：对侵犯胸膜的显示，ＭＲＩ与ＣＴ相似，其敏感性分别为４０％和７５％，特异性为８６％和９３％，准确性为７４％和８９％；对侵犯纵隔的显示，ＭＲＩ比ＣＴ敏感，特异性和准确性相似。     

Pleural and chest wall invasion in bronchogenic carcinoma: CT evaluation

CT scans of 47 patients who had peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma contiguous to the pleural surface and who had undergone thoracotomy were retrospectively reviewed. The CT features of the primary neoplasm that were analyzed included the angle and amount of contact with the adjacent pleural surface, associated pleural thickening, fat plane between the tumor and chest wall, rib destruction, and chest wall mass. CT was of limited predictive value in separating those patients who had parietal pleural/chest wall involvement from those who did not. The combination of two or three CT findings (obtuse angle, greater than 3 cm contact with pleural surface, associated pleural thickening) resulted in a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 59%. The clinical symptom of focal chest pain, while not as sensitive (67%) as CT, was much more specific (94%) for parietal pleura/chest wall invasion.
