原发性胆囊癌MRI误诊分析

Analysis on MRI Misdiagnosis of Primary Gallbladder Carcinoma

目的分析MRI误诊的原发性胆囊癌影像表现,以期提高MRI对原发性胆囊癌诊断的准确性。方法回顾性分析2010年1月-2013年3月15例术前MRI误诊为其他疾病而经手术病理证实的原发性胆囊癌的MRI影像学表现,分析其胆囊壁病灶部位、增强扫描强化方式、胆管扩张及是否伴有胆囊结石等特点。结果 5例误诊为肝门部占位伴肝内胆管扩张,7例肝内外胆管扩张者误诊为胆管内肿瘤及炎性狭窄,2例诊断肝右叶占位而胆囊病变误诊为胆囊息肉,1例误诊为结石性胆囊炎。回顾性分析发现12例有胆囊壁增厚(其中局限性增厚9例,弥漫性增厚3例);增强扫描15例胆囊壁均有不同程度强化,11例动脉期有延迟强化特征;8例患者合并胆囊结石;2例出现胆囊壁结节。结论原发性胆囊癌容易引起肝内、外胆管扩张,胆囊癌可表现为局限性或弥漫性囊壁增厚,常伴有胆囊结石等,MRI诊断时需引起充分注意。

Objective To analyze the MR findings ofpfimary gallbladder carcinoma so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods A retrospective study was developed involving 15 primary gallbladder carcinoma patients identified by postoperative pathology between January 2010 and March 2013. Imaging findings were analyzed including lesions location, enhancement characteristics, the dilatation of bile ducts and gallstones. Results Among the 15 gallbladder carcinoma patients, 5 were misdiagnosed as neoplasms in the porta hepatis combined with dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts. Intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts dilated in 7 patients, which were misdiagnosed as tumors or inflammation. Two cases of gallbladder carcinoma with fight lobe mass were misdiagnosed as gallbladder polyps. One patient was misdiagnosed as cholecystitis. The retrospective analysis revealed that the gallbladder wall thickened in 12 cases, with focal thickening in 9 and diffuse thickening in 3 cases. Enhanced scanning demonstrated that gallbladder wall enhanced in varying degrees, and 11 cases had delayed enhancement features. There were 8 patients with gallstones and 2 with gallbladder wall nodules. Conclusion Primary gallbladder carcinoma can easily cause bile duct dilatation, and manifests as focal or diffuse mural thickening, often accompanied by gallstones.
