CT findings in hepatocellular carcinoma: correlation of tumor characteristics with causative factors, tumor size, and histologic tumor grade.

摘要: PURPOSE: To determine computed tomographic (CT) findings of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a predominantly non-Asian population and to assess any morphologic differences with respect causative factors, tumor size, histologic grade. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical history, pathology reports, specimens, CT 100 patients HCC were reviewed. All underwent contrast material-enhanced incremental dynamic CT. Findings agreed on by consensus. RESULTS: The mosaic pattern was seen 46% cases, venous invasion 33%, encapsulation 31%; frequencies similar those reported Asian patients. A more common larger tumors (P = .036). Venous alcohol-induced cirrhosis .003) higher grade .043). Tumor lower .012). CONCLUSION: Reported between non-A...
