腹的洞的主要恶意的含纤维的 histiocytoma : CT 调查结果和病理学的关联

AIM:To study computed tomography(CT)features of abdominal malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH)in various rare locations.METHODS:We retroprospectively identified cases of MFH involving the abdominal cavity.Particular attention was paid to details regarding imaging features and histological types.RESULTS:The study population consisted of seven men and one woman,with a mean age of 52.5 years.Seven patients had some physical symptoms,while one was incidentally detected.The sites of origin were liver(n=3),greater omentum(n=1),superior mesentery(n=1),ileum(n=1),right psoas muscle(n=1)and right kidney(n=1).With the exception of the ileum lesion,all were of huge size.The contour of the lesions was more or less clear.Foci of necrosis were present in six lesions(n=6).On plain CT scan,all lesions were hypo to iso dense.The lesion in the greater omentum was cystic.One lesion(n=1)showed significant enhancement and the cystic lesion showed mild peripheral enhancement.An abundance of blood vessels surrounding the mass was seen in two lesions(n=2)and both were of the inflammatory variety.Pathological examination revealed storiform-pleomorphic variety(n=4),inflammatory variety(n=3)and myxoid variety(n=1).Two of the patients with inflammatory MFH had a clinical presentation of fever and one was afebrile,however,blood investigations in all three showed leukocytosis.CONCLUSION:Primary MFHs of the abdominal viscera and gastrointestinal tract are generally huge soft tissue masses containing areas of low attenuation and mild to moderate contrast enhancement.
