摘要
报告由手术或/和病理证实的7例侵犯性胸腺瘤的CT表现,CT所提供侵犯性胸腺瘤的资料比常规技术敏感,能提示胸腺瘤的良、恶性特征,病变有无侵犯邻近的组织及侵犯的范围。本病的预后与病理类型,有无侵犯或侵犯的范围有关,侵犯性胸腺瘤侵犯纵隔结构的脂肪、胸膜、心包、邻近肺、胸壁、心脏和大血管。并介绍了7例良性胸腺瘤的CT表现,且加以对比。
CT findings of 7 cases of invasive thymoma, surgically or/and pathologi-
cally diagnosed, were scrupulously analyzed. CT findings are more informative than the con-
ventional methods in (1) far more sensitive; (2) may serve to predict the character of the
thymoma; (3)discloses the presence of infiltration and the extent of invasion; (4) useful in
pathological classification; (5) gives clues for prognosis; and (6) presents evidences on the
extent of invasion of the surrounding mediastinal structures (such as fatty tissue, pleura,
pericardium, edjacent lung tissus, chest wall, heart and big vessels). A report of 7 cases of
benign thymoma is appended with CT findings.
