脊索瘤的影像学特点分析

目的探讨脊索瘤的影像学表现。方法搜集经手术病理证实的脊索瘤42例,对其影像学表现进行回顾性分析。结果颅底脊索瘤23例(54.8%),骶尾部脊索瘤18例(42.9%),外周脊索瘤1例(2.3%)。平片可见颅底及骶尾部溶骨性骨质破坏;CT扫描脊索瘤特征性地表现为斜坡和骶尾部膨胀性软组织肿块伴相应部位广泛溶骨性骨质破坏;MRI扫描对病变范围的显示优于CT。结论脊索瘤有较为典型的好发部位,MRI表现较具特征性。

Analysis for Imaging Characteristics of Chordoma

Objective To discuss the imaging manifestations of chordoma.Methods The imaging manifestations of chordoma in 42 cases proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analysed.Results The lesions located at the region of skull base in 23 cases(54.8%),at the sacrococcygeal region in 18 cases(42.9%) and one case(2.3%) outside the axial skeleton as an extra-axial chordoma or parachordoma.Bone destruction in the areas near skull base and sacrococcygeal region could be found on radiography.On CT,chordoma typically appeared as a expansile soft-tissue mass that arises from the clivus and sacrococcygeal region with associated extensive lytic bone destruction.MR imaging was considerably superior to CT in the delineation of lesion extent.Conclusion Chordoma has typically distribution and characteristic imaging manifestations,especially MRI.
