[Computed tomography in brain metastases (author's transl)]

J Oda, Y Inoue, T Fukuda

    No to Shinkei = Brain and Nerve
    |May 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study analyzed CT scans of 116 metastatic brain tumors. Lung cancer was the most common primary source, and metastatic nodules often showed specific density and location patterns on CT scans.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Brain metastases are common in cancer patients.
    • Understanding their imaging characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • Previous reports on CT findings of brain metastases vary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and characterize CT findings of metastatic brain tumors.
    • To compare findings with existing literature.
    • To identify common primary sources and imaging patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of CT scans from 50 patients with 116 metastatic brain tumors.
    • Analysis of tumor location, density on plain CT, and enhancement patterns on contrast CT.
    • Correlation of imaging findings with primary cancer type.

    Main Results:

    • Lung (43%), breast (18%), colon (10%), and kidney (6%) were the most frequent primary sites.
    • Solitary nodules occurred in 40% of patients.
    • Tumor nodules varied in density (33% high, 43% isodense, 24% low) and were often in the corticomedullary junction (82%).
    • Extensive peritumoral edema was noted.
    • Ring-like enhancement was observed in 35% on contrast CT.
    • Intra-tumoral bleeding occurred in 3 cases (choriocarcinoma, renal cell carcinoma).

    Conclusions:

    • CT scan findings of metastatic brain tumors show characteristic patterns.
    • Primary cancer type influences metastatic presentation on CT.
    • Extensive edema and ring enhancement are common features.
    • Rare findings like intra-tumoral bleeding can occur and aid in diagnosis.
