Abstract:
Objective:To explore the imaging features of rare tumors of nasal cavity and sinuses, and to improve the understanding of these diseases, thereby aiding clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods:The CT and MRI findings of 79 cases of rare neoplasm of nasal cavity and sinuses confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed, and the imaging features were summarized. Results:Among the 79 cases, there were 16 cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma, most showing expansive and infiltrative bone destruction without hyperosteogeny and sclerosis. The sphenoid sinus exhibited a \"pigeon\" shape. In 28 cases of malignant melanoma, MRI signals were diverse, typical signals were rare, but mixed signals were more common. In 12 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma, MRI enhancement mostly showed \"grape-like\" enhancement and partial ring enhancement; There were 10 cases of olfactory neuroblastoma, the lesions were consistent with the distribution area of olfactory mucosa, most of them were lobulated, marginal nodules, and \"flower ring\" enhancement, and 2 cases grew across intracranial and external, with multiple cystic lesions and surrounding flaky edema bands. In 5 cases of solitary fibrous tumor, Benign tumors had regular shape and uniform density, while malignant tumors had irregular shape and uneven density, The enhancement was obviously uneven and showed a \"pattern\" change. There were 2 cases of sarcomatoid carcinoma, both with lobed appearance, uneven density, lamellar low-density shadow, and osteolytic bone destruction. In 4 cases of schwannoma, the enhancement showed obvious inhomogeneous enhancement. One case showed cystic necrosis, one case showed calcification, and the surrounding structure was compressed without damage. There was 1 case of neurofibroma, with many cystic components, low signal separation and compartmentalized enhancement. One case of paraganglioma showed moderate enhancement in the arterial phase and progressive enhancement in the venous phase, accompanied by significant swelling bone destruction. Conclusion:Rare tumors of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses have distinctive imaging features. CT and MRI can effectively show the extent of the lesions and the degree of infiltration into adjacent tissues and organs, which is helpful for early clinical diagnosis and staging. However, definitive diagnosis still depends on pathology and immunohistochemistry.
目的:探讨鼻腔鼻窦少见肿瘤的影像学特点,提高对该类疾病的认识,为临床诊断和治疗提供帮助。 方法:回顾性分析经病理证实的79例鼻腔鼻窦少见肿瘤的CT和MRI表现,总结其影像学特征。 结果:79例中,神经内分泌癌16例,骨质破坏多表现为膨胀性骨质破坏与浸润性骨质破坏并存,而不伴骨质增生硬化,位于蝶窦者双侧对称呈“鸽”形;恶性黑色素瘤28例,MRI信号表现多样,典型者少见,而以混杂信号多见;横纹肌肉瘤12例,MRI增强多呈“葡萄状”强化、部分环状强化;嗅神经母细胞瘤10例,病灶与嗅黏膜分布区一致,多呈分叶状,边缘结节状,“花环状”强化,2例跨颅内外生长,颅内病灶见多发囊变及周围片状水肿带;孤立性纤维性肿瘤5例,良性者形态规则,密度均匀,恶性者形态不规则,密度不均,增强明显不均匀强化,呈“地图样”改变;肉瘤样癌2例,形态似分叶,密度不均,内见片状低密度影,均有溶骨性骨质破坏;神经鞘瘤4例,增强呈明显欠均匀强化,1例见囊变坏死,1例见钙化,周围结构受压而无破坏;神经纤维瘤1例,囊变成分多,内见低信号分隔,增强呈分隔样强化;副神经节瘤1例,增强动脉期中度强化,静脉期进行性明显强化,伴有明显膨胀性骨质破坏。 结论:鼻腔鼻窦少见肿瘤具有一定的影像学特征,CT和MRI能更好地显示病灶范围及对邻近组织器官的浸润程度,有助于临床早期诊断和分期,确诊仍需依靠病理和免疫组织化学。.
