Methods: Thirty-one patients with lung adenocarcinoma shown as solid solitary pulmonary nodules underwent routine con-trast-enhanced MDCT followed by surgical resections. CT character included net enhancement and distribution of enhance-ment. The largest cut surface of tumor specimens were stained by hematoxylin and eosin. About 25 fields of view of each specimen were scanned as digitized pictures at low magnification. Semi-auto segmentation software was used to calculate mean stroma proportion. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to represent the relationships between extent of tumor en-hancement, proportion of tumor stroma and MVD respectively. Fisher's exact test was used to analyze statistical differences in degree of CT enhancement among groups of different histological subtypes. Results: Proportion of invasive tumor stroma (13.2%-54.5%, mean 26.2 ± 8.8%) was correlated positively with net enhancement (8-60.8 HU, mean 31.2 ± 13.6 HU; r = 0.483, P = 0.006) which was more than MVD. 58.1% cases showed homogenous enhancement, 32.3% cases showed periph-eral inhomogenous enhancement, 3.2% cases showed central inhomogenous enhancement, 3.2% cases showed asymmetri-cal inhomogenous enhancement, and 3.2% cases showed no enhancement. 58.1% cases' stroma showed mixed distribution, 35.5% cases showed peripheral distribution, 3.2% cases showed central distribution, and 3.2% cases showed asymmetrical distribution. Significantly more adenocarcinomas classified with "net enhancement > 20 HU" were found in the acinar group than in the solid with mucin subtype (P = 0.005). Conclusion: Extent of CT enhancement reflects underlying not only the tumor angiogenesis but also stroma proliferation in solid small lung adenocarcinoma. Tumor stroma proportion could reflect the histopathologic basis of small lung adenocarcinoma's CT enhancement substantially than MVD. Distribution between enhancement and tumor stroma have good correspondence. Most of acinar adenocarcinomas have higher degree of CT net enhancement than solid with mucin adenocarcinomas.展开更多
