Contrast analysis of the relationship between the HRCT sign and new pathologic classification in small ground glass nodule-like lung adenocarcinoma.
La Radiologia Medica 2018 September 7
PURPOSE: To perform contrast analysis of the relationship between high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) signs and new pathologic classification of small GGNs-like lung adenocarcinoma.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The HRCT data from 145 pathologically confirmed cases of small GGNs of lung adenocarcinoma were analysed retrospectively. The 145 cases of GGNs were divided into pre-invasive (PI) group (n = 46), micro-invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) group (n = 48), and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) group (n = 51). HRCT imaging sign of GGNs in each group was assessed and compared.
RESULTS: Significant differences in GGN size were found among the three groups (P < 0.05). The presence of a tumour-lung interface in the MIA and IAC groups was significantly higher than that in the PI group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found between the MIA and IAC groups. The presence of a pleural indentation sign in the IAC group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was noted between the latter two groups. Significant differences were found in the lobulated and spicule signs among the three groups (P < 0.05). The presence of a microvascular sign in the MIA and IAC groups was significantly higher than that in the PI group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the GGN density, vacuole sign, air bronchus sign and notch sign among the three groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The HRCT signs of GGNs could be used to differentiate among pre-invasive lesions, micro-invasive lesions and invasive lung adenocarcinoma.
