Abstract |
CT findings in 3 cases with SFT confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry were reviewed retrospectively, and compared with pathological results. Three cases were large, well-defined and smooth contour of masses and SFT was consisted of solid components of two different density. On enhanced CT scans, tumors showed strongly enhancing, the multiple vascular shadows were seen within the tumor in arterial phase. There is progressive enhancement from the arterial to venous phase, and capsule of tumor can be displayed. Histologically, the tumors are composed of spindle cells within a background of collagen stroma, and showed a wide range of growth patterns, alternating hypercellular (tumor cell-rich) and hypocellular (collagen-rich) areas. The diagnosis is confirmed by characteristic positive immunohistochemical staining for CD34. |
