孤立性肺結(jié)節(jié)petct良惡性鑒別診斷

1、孤立性肺結(jié)節(jié)的鑒別診斷，在臨床中經(jīng)常遇到。根據(jù)結(jié)節(jié)的良惡性差異，處理方法有很大差別。在這篇文章中，我們主要探討CT和PET-CT的相關(guān)征象在孤立性肺結(jié)節(jié)良惡性鑒別診斷中的意義。,The differential diagnosis of a solitary pulmonary nodule is broad and management depends on whether the lesion is benign or malig

7、rcoma or chondrosarcoma.Similarly the central and popcorn pattern can be seen in patients with GI-tumors and patients who previously had chemotherapy.,結(jié)節(jié)大小,結(jié)節(jié)大小與惡性可能性之間的關(guān)系孤立性肺結(jié)節(jié)（SPN）定義：肺實(shí)質(zhì)內(nèi)小于等于3cm的病灶（需除外肺不張和腫大的淋巴結(jié)）。大于

8、3cm的病灶稱為腫塊（mass）。之所以這樣定義，是因?yàn)榇笥?cm的病灶多為惡性，而更小的病灶可能是良心或惡性。Swensen. et al 研究了SPN大小與惡性可能性之間的關(guān)系（上圖），結(jié)論是小的結(jié)節(jié)，良性可能性大。超過2000例小于4mm的結(jié)節(jié)，無一例屬于惡性。,Size,A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is defined as a single intraparenchymal lesi

12、定性方面具有重要意義。超過2年無變化的結(jié)節(jié)多為良性。,Growth,Comparison with prior imaging studies is often the most useful procedure to determine the importance of the finding of a SPN, since stability over 2 years is highly associated with benig

17、rgins - more likely benign unless metastatic in origin,充氣支氣管征,最新研究表明，有充氣支氣管征的結(jié)節(jié)多為惡性。主要見于BAC（細(xì)支氣管肺泡癌）和腺癌。上圖顯示充氣的支氣管呈線樣（粗箭）或囊狀（細(xì)箭）透亮區(qū)，這是支氣管走向不同造成的。,Air Bronchogram sign,Recent studies have showed that an air bronchogram i
