Abstract:
Objective To investigate the CT imaging features of pneumonic type Bronchio-loalveolar carcinoma(BAC) and the value of CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy in pneumonic type BAC.Methods Twenty-five cases of suspected pneumonic type BAC were biopsied with CT-guided percutaneous puncture.GE 64-slices plain and post contrast CT scans were performed in all patients.Two radiologists finished imaging determination.Site of puncture was selected in suspicious areas of the tumor.The negative pressure aspiration needle were used to be biopsy in the ideal location after vertically into the needle and again performed CT scanning were performed to observe the complications such as hemorrhage,pneumothorax.Specimens were fixed by formalin.Results Twenty-five samples were successfully got from 25 patients.Pathology data showed that 14 cases were pneumonia with BAC,6 cases with pneumonia,2 cases with offungus infection,and 3 cases with caseous pneumonia.Of 14 cases (71.4％) with pneumonia type BAC,CT images of 10 cases showed air bronchogram of lung tissue,5 cases(35.7％) with alveolar gas cavity or cavity of lung tissue,5 cases(35.7％) with ground glass opacity and multiple nodules.Enhanced CT scanning the area of consolidation showed that 11 cases(78.6％) were with mixed low density area angiography and the mean peak time was 90 s,9 cases (64.2％) were with the time density curve of speed up and slow down type.Conclusion The method of CT guided lung biopsy combined with typical imaging findings can enhance early diagnosis rate of pneumonia type BAC.Meanwhile CT feature of pneumonia type BAC shows honeycomb air cavity,void,angiographic sign,dead branches syndrome,multiple peripheral acinar nodules and ground glass density.Enhanced scan area of consolidation shows visible angiogran sign,slow drop type of time density curve of a fast rise.
