Objective To study the imaging features of localized peritoneal mesothelioma (LPM).Method The X ray,ultrasonography(US),computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) findings of 8 cases of LPM confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Result All 8 lesions appeared as solitary peritoneal masses.6 lesions were cystic solid masses,while other 2 were solid masses with hypo echo on US and hypo density on plain CT.The solid portion of the tumours showed marked or moderate enhancement on contrast CT.1 case with MRI examination had heterointensity signal on T 1 and T 2 weighted images.Conclusion It is possible to make preoperative diagnosis of LPM using combined examinations. |
