选取2009年9月2017年9月就诊于复旦大学附属中山医院的34例肝脏神经内分泌肿瘤患者,其中25例由肝脏穿刺活检或手术病理证实,9例由原发灶病理结合增强CT/MRI检查证实。所有患者术前均行超声造影检查。根据病理结果,参照世界卫生组织(World Health Organization,WHO)2010年消化系统神经内分泌肿瘤分级标准,将肿瘤病理分级分为G1、G2和G3级。G2与G3级病灶间定量指标的比较采用独立样本
To analyze the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) characteristic
s of hepatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (hNEN) and to investigate its clinical values of CEUS in predicting pathological grading of hNEN.
Methods:
From Sep. 2009 to Sep. 2017
images of CEUS were analyzed retrospectively in 34 cases of hNEN confirmed by pathology and imaging in Zhongshan Hospital
Fudan University. The CEUS characteristics including enhancement time
enhancement pattern
manifestations of peak time
washout degree of enhancement and wash in-wash out model of lesions were observed by two ultrasound doctors who had at least five-year working experience. These 34 cases were divided into 3 grades(G1
G2 and G3)according to World Health Organization 2010 classification of gastroenteropancreatic NEN. The differences in CEUS characteristics among deifferent grades were compared.
Results:
The average time to start
time to peak and time to decline were (16.24.7)
(22.05.5) and (42.923.4) s respectively. Two patterns of enhancement were observed during the enhancement progression: global enhancement and centripetal enhancement. Of the 34 hNEN cases
79.4% (27/34) of lesions showed global enhancement and 20.6% (7/34) of lesions showed centripetal enhancement. As for the manifestations of peak time
61.8% (21/34) of lesions showed homogenously enhanced pattern
while 26.5% (9/34) of lesions showed inhomogenously enhanced pattern and 11.8% (4/34) of lesions showed rim-like enhanced pattern. The enhancement of all lesions washed out at portal venous phase with different degree. Of the 34 hNEN cases
32.3% (11/34) of leisons showed mild washout and 67.7% (23/34) of lesions showed remarkable washout. All lesions showed remarkable washout at delay phase. Compared with liver parenchyma
52.9% (18/34) of hNEN lesions showed fast in and fast out
38.3% (13/34) of hNEN lesions showed synchronous in and fast out and 8.8% (3/34) of hNEN lesions showed slow in and fast out. A greater percentage of fast in and fast out was found in G2 lesions (76.2%
16/21) than in G3 lesions (15.4%
2/13)
with statistical significance (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion:
CEUS can provide useful information in diagnosing hNEN. The wash in-wash out model of CEUS may preoperatively predict the pathological grading of hNEN.
