Abstract:
Objective To observe CT and MRI manifestations of soft tissue Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma(KHE)in children.Methods Data of 11 children with KHE confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed,including 7 case underwent CT scanning,3 case underwent MR scanning and 1 case underwent both CT and MR scanning.The tumors originated from the skin with adjacent soft tissue invasion in 10 cases,while from pharyngeal soft tissue without skin involvement in 1 case.Nine cases were found with single and 2 cases were found with multiple lesions,with a total of 13 lesions,including 6 in the limbs,4 in the trunk and 3 in the head and neck,5 were focal type and 8 were diffuse type.CT and MRI manifestations of KHE were observed.Results Involvements of subcutaneous fat and deep fascia were noticed in all 8 cases(8/8,100％)who underwent CT scanning,while bone involvements were found in 3 cases(3/8,37.50％).The tumors present as equal density in 7 cases(7/8,87.50％)and equal-low density in 1 case(1/8,12.50％),with CT value of(30.25±14.32)HU,and no obvious venous stones or calcification was observed.Significant enhancement was observed in all 8 cases(8/8,100％)after administration of contrast agents,with CT value of(124.30±82.96)HU,and blood vessels around the lesions were noticed in 4 cases(4/8,50.00％).Among 4 cases who underwent MR examination,tumors invaded adjacent muscles in 3 cases(3/4,75/00％)and affected bones in 1 case(1/4,25.00％),presenting as uneven high signal on T2WI,high signal on diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)without significant decreased of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),with sustained significant enhancement in all 4 cases and empty blood vessel shadows in 3 cases.Conclusion CT and MRI manifestations of soft tissue KHE in children were characteristic,especially on contrast-enhanced scanning and DWI.
