Analysis of CT Imaging in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

摘要: 目的是加深对鼻咽癌(NPC)CT征象的认识,提高对其影像诊断水平。方法:搜集经病理证实的NPC69例,详细分析其放疗前CT表现。结果:本组病例,鼻咽侧壁增厚最多见(87.0%),咽旁间隙变窄次之(68.1%),其余依次为茎内软组织增厚致密(59.4%),其他部位受侵则相对少见。结论:NPC累及鼻咽侧壁多见,突破咽频底筋膜后,肿瘤多侵犯咽旁间隙和茎内软组织。

Abstract: Objective:To recognize CT signs of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) profoundly. Methods: Nasopharynx axial CT scans were performed in 69 cases of NPC proved pathology. Their CT findings before radiotherapy were analyzed in details. Results: The seequence of CT findings in NPC was thickening of the lateral wall of nasopharynx (87.0%), narrowing of parapharyngeal space (PPS)(68.1%), thickening and compactness of the soft-tissue medial to the styloid process (59.4%). involvement of posterior naris and nasal cavity (42.0%), and bone destruction of skull base (37.7%). The rate of the other abnormal finding was low. Conclusions:Involvement of lateral wall of nasopharynx could be seen in most NPC. After breakthrough the pharyngobasilar fascia, the tumor usually invades PPS and the soft-tissue medial to the styloid process.
