Abstract: Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multislice CT(MSCT)in multilocular cystic real cell carcinoma(MCRCC).Methods Imaging features of 22 patients with MCRCC proved by histopathologic examinations,these patients were underwent non-enhanced and dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT scans and evaluated CT signs.Results 22 tumors all appeared as well defined multilocular cystic mass.The cystic wall presented with irregular thicking in 14 cases and regular thicking in 8 cases.The tumors with thin coarse septum in 6 cases(the transverse diameter ≤2 mm),irregular thicking septum in 11cases(2mm ＜the transverse diameter ≤ 5 mm)and septum with nodule in 5 cases(the transverse diameter ≤ 5 mm).Cystic wall and septum enhancement were detected with dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT.Cystic ares and hemorrhagic areas and calcification were no enhanced.Calcification of cystic wall were found in 2 cases and cyst in 3 cases.Conclusion MSCT imaging appearances have typical features.It has great important value in the preoperative diagnosis of MCRCC with non-enhanced and dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT scans.
