Objectives:
To evaluate CT imaging feature and CT in staging of the ovarian carcinomas and low malignant potential tumors (LMP) in relation with pathology.
Methods:
Preoperative CT image of of 48 tumors, including 45 carcinomas and 3 LMP in 30 patients verified surgical-pathologically were analyzed.
Results:
The tumors were classified as cystic, predominantly cystic, mixed, predominantly solid and solid types. The solid and solid portion of the mass were enhanced obviously. It appeared flower-shaped or nodular shadows or irregularity of patch. Cystic portion of the mass with a wall or septa thickness exceeding 3mm observed wall nodularily and/or a solid mass. LMP appeared purely cystic or predominantly cystic, accompanied with a thin regular wall, thin septa and regular solid portion with contrast material uptake. CT permitted accurate estimation of the FiGo in 80% of patients.
Conclusion:
CT images is helpful to explore the pathologic appearances of neoplasms and biological characteristics of ovary carcinoma.
