Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the relationship between the CT features and pathology of peripheral adenocarcinoma.Methods Eighty patients with peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma (including 44 well-differentiated,23 moderate and 13 poorly one)confirmed by pathology were collected in this series.The comparative study on CT finding and pathologic data was done.Results Air bronchograms were seen in 35 cases (79.6%)in high differential adenocarcinoma and were seen in 7 cases(30.4%) in moderate differential adenocinoma but not seen in low differential ones.The emergeua rate of lobular sign,burr sign,sign of hollowed and sign of blood vessel bundle was high in low differentiated adenocarcinoma.Lymphnode metastases and distant matestasis in moderate-low differentiated adenocarcinoma were much more than that of high differentiated ones. Conclusion The air bronchogram in nodule on CT image is important in evaluating diagnosis and progrosis of peripheral adenocarcinoma.
