[Abstract] Objective: To discuss the value of 3.0 tesila MRI in the diagnosis of cystic-solid masses of appendix. And, to analyse the causes of misdiagnosis of common accessories lesions like mature ovarian cystic teratoma, endometrisis cysts, cystadenoma, borderline cystadenoma and ovarian canner.Materials and Methods: A total of 125 lesions were collected in this study, all lesions were diagnosed as cystic-solid masses of appendix by postoperative pathology. The MRI manifestations were analyzed retrospectively, and the causes of misdiagnosis were summarized.Results: There were 84 benign lesions, 25 borderline lesions, and 16 maglignant lesions. Among all of the lesions, there were 104 lesions (83.2%) were diagnosed accurately by MRI, 21 lesions (16.8%) were misdiagnosed. Thirteen in 16 maglignant lesions of MRI staging were coincide well with pathological staging, however, 3 lesions of MRI staging was lighter than pathological staging. The ADC value was statistically significant among benign (1.325×10-3 mm/s), borderline (1.081×10-3 mm/s) and malignant lesions (0.928×10-3 mm/s) groups (P<0.05).Conclusions: Although benign and malignant (especially the borderline) cystic-solid lesions of appendix on MRI have certain overlap, the diagnostive value for cystic-solid masses of appendix on 3.0 tesila MR was high. Some of the cystic-solid lesions have particular characteristics in MR imagings. To analyse and summarize the reasons for misdiagnosed cases could be useful for improving the accuracy of diagnosis. |
