颅内软骨肉瘤的CT及MRI表现

目的　探讨颅内软骨肉瘤的CT、MRI特征。方法　对经手术病理证实的 3例颅内软骨肉瘤的临床资料进行了回顾性分析。结果　 3例CT平扫显示不规则分叶状肿块 ,瘤周水肿不明显 ,2例伴有瘤内钙化及局部颅骨侵蚀。MRI显示肿瘤在T1WI为低、等信号 ,T2 WI为高信号 ;MRI增强时T2 WI中央低信号部分不强化 ,周边强化明显。结论　颅内软骨肉瘤好发于颅底软骨联合处 ,常伴瘤内钙化和局部颅骨侵蚀 ,但须依靠病理及免疫组化染色确诊与鉴别诊断

CT and MRI Findings of Intracranial Chondrosarcomas

Objective To study CT and MRI features of intracranial chondrosarcomas. Methods CT and MRI of 3 cases with intracranial chondros arcomas proved by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results CT scans showed the tumors were lobular mass, per itumoral edema were not serious, intratumorous calcification and bone invasion w ere seen in 2 cases.MRI showed that tumor had low to intermediate signal intensi ty or hypointensity on T 1WI, high signal intensity on T 2WI. On contrast enha nced MRI,the center of lesions which was low signal intensity on T 2WI was no e nhancement, but there was observable enhancement at periphery of tumors.Conclusion Intracranical chondrosarcomas are often orgina ted from synchondrosis of the skull base,the lesions are often associated with c alcification, and bone invasion, the accurate dignosis should depend on microsco pic examination and immunohistochemical staining.
