目的:探讨肝脏IgG4相关炎性假瘤(IPT)的MRI特征。方法回顾性分析经病理证实的9例肝脏IgG4相关IPT患者,患者均在病理检查前6周内行上腹部MRI平扫、增强及DWI检查。观察病灶的形态特征、MRI信号特征,测量病灶及肝组织的ADC值,采用配对t检验进行比较。结果9例肝脏IgG4相关IPT患者共11个病灶。8个病灶边界清楚,3个边界不清。7个病灶在肝包膜下分布。11个病灶在T1WI上均呈低信号。T2WI上8个病灶呈高信号。增强扫描5个呈渐进性强化,4个呈持续强化,其余2个为不典型的廓清模式,门静脉期、延迟期呈等、低信号。主要伴随征象包括:6个病灶延迟包膜样强化,7个病灶中央无强化区。病灶ADC值为(1.42±0.36)×10-3mm2/s,稍低于肝脏ADC值[肝脏为(1.55±0.31)×10-3mm2/s],差异无统计学意义(t=0.78,P=0.46)。结论肝脏IgG4相关IPT的MRI表现多样,典型者T1WI低信号、T2WI稍高信号,增强后呈渐进性或持续高信号,伴延迟包膜样强化及中央无强化区。
Objective To investigate the MRI features of hepatic IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT). Methods Nine patients with 11 histopathologically proven IgG4-related hepatic IPTs were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical, morphological and MRI signal features on T1WI, T2WI, dynamic-enhanced, and diffusion-weighted imaging were assessed in detail and correlated with pathological findings. The paired t test was used to compare the ADC values of the tumors and the hepatic tissue. Results Hepatic IgG4-related IPT displayed certain MRI features. The dominant lesions were subcapsularly distributed (n=7) with a clear boundary (n=8), which typically showed hypointensity on T1WI (n=11), mild hyperintensity on T2WI (n=8), progressive (n=5) or persistent (n=4) enhancement pattern. Accompanied signs included delayed capsule-like enhancement (n=6) and central nonenhanced areas (n=7). Two lesions showed atypical wash-out pattern with iso or hypointensity on portal and delayed phases. In diffusion weighted imaging, all lesions were hyperintense, and the mean ADC value of the lesions [(1.42 ± 0.36) × 10-3mm2/s] was mildly lower than that of surrounding liver [(1.55±0.31)×10-3mm2/s], although no statistical differences were found(t=0.78, P=0.46). Conclusions Hepatic IgG4-related IPTs display various MRI manifestations. The lesions normally show progressive enhancement pattern with diffuse homogeneous or heterogeneous hyperintensity, accompanied by delayed capsule-like enhancement and central nonenhanced areas.
