Abstract:
Objective To analyze the blood perfusion modes of retroperitoneal benign and malignant masses by real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). Methods Forty-five patients with retroperitoneal masses, including 18 benign and 27 malignant masses, were performed with CEUS. The perfusion of contrast agent, entering style and the vascular patterns of contrast agent were described. And the diagnosis value of perfusion characteristics was evaluated in retroperitoneal benign and malignant masses. Results The perfusion of CEUS showed significant differences in the entering style of contrast agent and the vascular patterns in malignant masses in comparison to benign masses. In the entering style of contrast agent, center enhancement of malignant masses was 70. 37% (19/27), periphery enhancement of benign masses was 72.22% (13/18) ,there was statistical significane in the result( P = 0.0069). To the vascular patterns level,there were 2 with level 0 and 11 with level 1 in benign group, 10 with level 2 and 9 with level 3 in malignant group, there was statistical significane between malignant group and benign group too( P=0.0206). Conclusions CEUS is benefit to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of retroperitonea malignant and benign masses.
