ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To investigate the proportion of different histological types and CT enhanced imaging features of primary middle mediastinal lesions in order to improve the understanding of these tumors and the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis.Methods:
Retrospective analysis was conducted on 84 patients with primary middle mediastinal lesions and clear histological classifications diagnosed and treated at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2012 to December 2022. Clinical, imaging, and pathological data were collected and classified according to tumor histological classifications. CT imaging manifestations such as tumor location, size, morphology, edge, boundary, internal components, enhancement characteristics, and surrounding tissue invasion were evaluated and recorded.Results:
The histological types of the primary middle mediastinal lesions from the 84 patients included mesenchymal tumors, anterior intestinal cysts, giant lymph node hyperplasia, substernal goiter, neuroendocrine carcinoma, lymphohematopoietic system tumors, and mesothelioma, accounting for 28.6%, 27.4%, 14.3%, 3.6%, 11.9%, 9.5%, and 4.8%, respectively. Mesenchymal tumors included peripheral nerve sheath tumors, vascular tumors, adipogenic tumors, solitary fibrous tumors, and synovial sarcoma, accounting for 54.2%, 20.8%, 12.5%, 8.3%, and 4.2%, respectively. The above tumors had diverse imaging manifestations and specific imaging features. Mature fat were found in 3 cases of liposarcoma; Calcification was observed in 2 cases of thyroid nodules and 7 cases of giant lymph node hyperplasia; Enhanced scanning showed significant enhancement in 2 cases of solitary fibrous tumors, 3 cases of thyroid nodules, and 11 cases of giant lymph node hyperplasia; Mediastinal large lymph nodes was observed in 6 cases of lymphoma and 3 cases of mesothelioma; High invasiveness was observed in 4 cases of mesothelioma and 9 cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma.Conclusion:
Mediastinal tumors have low incidence rate and rich histological types, and their imaging manifestations are diverse. Preoperative differential diagnosis can be made according to their specific imaging characteristics.
