Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the application of CT scan in diagnosis of pathological types and origins of metastatic ovarian tumors.
METHODSClinical data, histopathological results and CT images of 43 patients with pathologically-proved metastatic ovarian tumor were retrospectively analyzed. Diagnostic values of CT imaging for pathological type and origin of metastatic ovarian tumors were evaluated.
RESULTSThe pathological types of metastatic ovarian tumor were related to the size of the lesion (<0.01), while not related to the sites of lesion (unilateral or bilateral), the cystic-solid and mixed lesions with or without separation (all>0.05). Metastatic ovarian tumors of colorectal origin were usually unilateral lesions, and showed cystic or cystic-solid masses, while those of gastric origin were usually bilateral lesions, and showed solid or solid-based masses.
CONCLUSIONSCT imaging may be of value in diagnosis of pathological types and origin of metastatic ovarian tumor.
