Abstract：Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of MSCT in soft tissue masses of scalp.Methods CT, clinical char-acteristics and histological fingdings of 39 patients with soft tissue masses of scalp were analyzed retrospectively, including the clinical symptoms, age of onset, course of disease, sex, position of lesion, density of lesion, margin, internal information and ad-jacent destruction of bone.Results In the 39 patients, 30 were benign lesions ( 76.9%) and 9 were malignant lesions (23.1%).Epidermoid cyst (14/30), dermoid cyst (5/30), calcifying epithelioma (3/30) and lipoma (3/30) were commonly found in benign soft tissue masses.Malignant lesions were squamous cell carcinoma ( 6/9 ) and basal cell carcinoma ( 3/9 ) . There were 3 cases (3/30) in benign lesions and 7cases (7/9) in malignant lesions with bone destruction, the difference was sig-nificant( P <0.05).Conclusion MSCT can show the position, morphology of mass and adjacent destruction of bone, combined with the MSCT and clinical characteristics, we can more accurately determine the nature of the mass.
