目的：探讨口腔鳞状细胞癌（SCC）术后针状脓肿影像学检查的临床意义。对137例术后怀疑有淋巴结转移、肿瘤局部复发或针状脓肿的口腔鳞状细胞癌患者，在超声（US）、计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振（MR）和（18）氟脱氧葡萄糖(18FDG)-正电子发射断层扫描（PET）图像上与淋巴结转移、肿瘤局部复发和针状脓肿相关的特征性影像学表现进行了识别和分析。所有6例针状脓肿患者的特征性表现均表现在US上，不同于CT、MRI和18FDG-PET图像上的转移性淋巴结和局部复发。我们的结果表明，超声检查可能是一个非常有用的工具，诊断术后缝合脓肿，可能有助于提高口腔SCC患者的生活质量。英国皇家版权所有(C) 2010出版的爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
To elucidate the clinical significance of imaging modalities for detection of stitch abscess after surgery in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).In 137 patients with oral SCC suspected of having lymph node metastases, local recurrence of tumor, or stitch abscess after surgery, the characteristic imaging findings related to lymph node metastases, local recurrence of tumor, and stitch abscess on ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and (18)fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) images were identified and analyzed.In all six patients with stitch abscess, characteristic findings were demonstrated on US, different from those of metastatic lymph nodes and local recurrence on CT, MRI, and 18FDG-PET images.Our results suggest that ultrasonography may be a very useful tool for diagnosis of postoperative stitch abscess and may help improve the quality of life of oral SCC patients.
