Objective To study MRI features of fibroma of tendon sheath(FTS)and giant cell tumor of tendon sheath(GCTTS), so as to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of two lesions. Methods Seventeen patients with FTS and 27 patients with GCTTS confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were examined with MRI. The location, size, shape and the relationship with the surrounding tissue, the signal feature and enhancing pattern of the two groups were compared. Imaging features in the two groups were assessed and analyzed by using independent samples t test and Chi-square test. Results FTS were nodular or mass-like lesions(n=11). Few lesions appeared adjacent bone absorption(n=2). On T2WI, the lesions showed peripheral low signal ring(n=6)or internal mixed low-signal intensity of was striped or filamentous configurations(n=10). The volume of low-signal intensity accounted for more than 2/3 of the total lesion's volume(n=6). Enhanced T1WI, tumors revealed ring enhancement(n=6). GCTTS appeared mostly lobulated(n=16), common with adjacent bone compressive absorption(n=9). On T2WI, most of lesion had a peripheral low signal ring(n=22). Tumors revealed mixed high signals intensity with granular or patchy irregular low signal intensity scattered in the mass(n=17), the area of low signal accounts for less than 1/3 of total neoplastic volume(n=18). On contrast T1WI, GCTTS appeared heterogenous enhancement. Statistical analysis showed that the shape of the lesion, the presence or absence of compressive bone absorption, the presence of a low signal ring around the lesion, the shape of the Low-signal in T2WI and the proportion, and the presence of circumferential enhancement(P<0.01), there were statistically significant differences between the two. And there was no statistically significant difference in the age, gender and location of disease(P>0.05). Conclusion FTS and GCTTS has a different characteristic of MRI features. FTS were nodular or mass-like, T2WI signal was mixed low, the shape of the low-signal was striped or filamentous, accounting for more than 1/3 of total lesion's volume, enhanced T1WI, tumor shows ring enhancement;GCTTS appears mostly lobulated.Most of lesion has low signal ring, common with adjacent bone compress compressive absorption. T2WI, tumor reveals mixed high signals intensity with granular or patchy irregular low signal intensity scattered in the mass. The area of low signal accounts for less than 1/3 of total neoplastic volume.

Objective To investigate the value of transrectal Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CETRUS)to discriminate benign and cancerous nodules in prostate. Methods Fifty-five patients with hypoechoic lesions(35 biopsy-proven benign nodules and 32 prostate cancer nodules)in the prostate underwent Color and power Doppler uhrasonography(PDUS),and the parameter of peak vascularization index(PVI)in each prostate nodule was recorded and the differences of PVI in the benign and cancerous nodules were analyzed.CETRUS was then performed on all cases.The enhancement patterns of the lesions and their surrounding peripheral zone tissues were observed.After CETRUS,lesion-specific TRUS-guided biopsy and the routine sextant biopsy were performed subsequently. Results PVI of 32 prostate cancerous nodules and 35 prostate benign nodules were (0.38±0.16),(0.24±0.19),respectively,measured by color Doppler ultrasonography.And the former was significantly higher than the latter(P=0.0023).PVI of the cancerous nodules and the benign nodules were(0.55±0.18),(0.32±0.21)(P<0.01).Malignant lesions showed significant increased peak intensity and earlier arrival time compared with their surrounding outer gland tissue,while benign lesions showed nearly equal peak intensity and time to enhancement compared with their surrounding gland tissue by CETRUS. Conclusions PVI measured by PDUS was more effective than that measured by color Doppler to discriminate benign and cancerous nodules in prostate.CETRUS could be helpful in discriminatory performance of benign and cancerous nodules in prostate.
