肾脏上皮样血管平滑肌脂肪瘤的CT诊断

目的 探讨肾脏上皮样血管平滑肌脂肪瘤(EAML)的CT表现,以提高对该病的诊断水平.方法 对15例经手术病理证实为肾脏EAML的临床及影像资料进行回顾性分析.15例肾脏EAML均经CT平扫及增强扫描.结果 肾EAML具有一定的特征性表现:(1)CT平扫呈稍低或等高密度,无脂肪成分,边界光整,圆形或类圆形,直径为2～5 cm;(2)病灶可以累及肾髓质部分或向外生长,但实验室检查无血尿;(3)增强扫描动脉期呈明显或较明显均匀强化,少数可不均匀明显强化,部分病灶内有增粗迂曲的血管;(4)强化方式为快进快出.结论 CT特征表现对正确诊断肾脏EAML有重要价值.

CT features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma

Objective To explore the CT features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML), and to improve the diagnosis of this disease.Methods The clinical materials and image findings of 15 cases (8 female, 7 male) with renal EAML proved by pathologies were retrospectively studied.Plain and enhancement CT scan were performed in all 15 patients.Nine of the 15 cases were correctly diagnosed and the other were misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (n=5), renal oncocytoma (n=1).Results There were some distinctive findings of EAML: (1) Little hypodense or iso-high-density, well defined, round lesion with diameter of 2 to 5 cm.(2) The tumor may involve the medulla of kidney or grow out without haematuria.(3) Most lesions showed obviously uniformity enhancement at artery phase, with a few of them showed inhomogeneous enhancement There were thickening and circuitous vessels in a few lesions.(4) Enhancement mode was quick-in and quick-out.Conclusions CT findings combined with clinical materials have important value in making a correct diagnosis of EAML preoperatively.
