Abstract:
Objective To analyze CT features of retroperitoneal tumors or tumor-like lesion and to evaluate CT in localizating and qualitative diagnosis of diseases.Methods CT findings in 45 cases with pathologically-proved retroperitoneal tumor were retrospectively analyzed and compared with pathological results.Results There were 25 cases of benign tumors and 20 cases of malignant tumors.The CT features of benign tumors were homogeneous density,smooth peripheria with clear border,while mixed density,large and irregular in malignant tumors.The accuracy of localizating lesions was 89%,the accuracy of qualitative diagnosis was 78%,the accuracy of histologic evaluation was 49%.Conclusion CT imaging is valuable in diagnosing retroperitoneal tumors.CT can make accurate localization of tumors and identify the nature of tumors,but is limited in evaluating histologic types.
