The MSCT features of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in 19 cases
Abstract：Objective To investigate the CT features of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor( IMT) .Methods The CT imagings and clinical data of 19 patients with IMT confirmed by pathological examination were analyzed retro-spectively.Of all the patients with IMT, there were 6 tumors in lungs, 5 in enterocoelia, 4 in liver, 1 in neck soft tissue, stomach, trachea and middle fossa.Results The CT findings indicated that 14 lesions in heterogeneous low-density on CT plain scanning, 4 lesions in high-density and 1 lesion in isodensity, 17 lesions in round shape or irreg-ularity bolus, 2 lesions in cyst-solidary mass in enterocoelia.Calcification was found in the lung of 1 case and in the stomach of 1 case.Enhanced scanning showed mild to moderate enhancement in 15 cases in the arterial phase, per-sistent enhancement in the portal venous phase or in the delayed phase, ring-like enhancement in 1 case in the liver. Conclusion CT features combined with the clinical data are helpful to diagnose IMT.
