To explore the value of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and Warthin tumor (WT).
Methods:
The clinical data and imaging manifestations of 25 cases of PA and 20 cases of WT confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients underwent maxillofacial CT unenhanced and dynamic enhanced scans.
Results:
All 25 cases of PA
including 9 males (36.0%) and 16 females (64.0%)
with an average age of (44.113.6) years
were solitary lesions
in which 22 lesions (88.0%) were located in the non-pos
terior inferior quadrant. On enhanced CT
all lesions showed progressive enhancement and mild to moderate enhancement in the venous phase. All 20 cases of WT were males (100.0%)
with an average age of (58.09.2) years
and a long history of smoking. 10 cases (50.0%) were multiple lesions. In total of 35 lesions
25 lesions (71.4%) were located in the posterior inferior quadrant; 35 lesions (100.0%) showed moderate or obvious enhancement in the arterial phase
while the enhancement was decreased in the venous phase
which showed quickly forward and quickly quit.
Conclusion:
Different clinical and CT features have high value in the differential diagnosis of WT and PA
Comparative analysis of ultrasonic characteristics of pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin tumor of parotid gland
Radiomics models in differentiating parotid pleomorphic adenoma from Warthin tumor
Multi-region radiomics features from enhanced CT combined with clinical risk factors for preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion in colon cancer
Application value of multimodal imaging technology based on CT and MRI in the diagnosis and PRETEXT staging of childhood hepatoblastoma
The predictive value of CT radiomics model for immunotherapy efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer
