中枢神经系统血管外皮细胞瘤的CT、MRI表现

目的探讨中枢神经系统血管外皮细胞瘤(hemangiopericytoma,HPC)的CT、MRI影像学特征.方法回顾性分析经手术、病理证实的9例中枢神经系统HPC的CT、MRI影像学特征,结合文献报道总结本病的诊断与鉴别诊断要点.结果9例中颅内7例,椎管内2例.CT平扫4例呈均匀略高密度,3例呈略高、低混杂密度;MRI检查4例呈等T1、等T2信号,3例呈等长T1、等长T2混杂信号.CT、MRI增强后所有病灶均呈明显强化.结论CT、MRI可对中枢神经系统HPC做出可靠诊断.

CT and MRI Manifestations of Hemangiopericytoma in Central Nervous System

Objective To investigate the CT and MRI features of the hemangiopericytoma (HPC) in central nervous system(CNS) and improve its diagnostic accuracy. Methods The CT and MRI features of the HPC in CNS proved by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed and the criteria of diagnosis and differential diagnosis were summarized.Results 7 of 9 cases were intracranial and 2 were intraspinal. The lesions appeared homogeneous high density in 4 cases on plain CT scans and 3 cases appeared inhomogeneous density, 4 cases appeared isointense with cortical gray matter on both T_1-weighted and T_2-weighted images, 3 cases were heterogeneous. All contrast-enhanced scans showed marked enhancement.Conclusion The accuracy diagnosis of HPC in CNS can be made by CT and MRI.
