PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of biphasic contrast-enhanced CT in differentiation of lipid-poor adenomas from pheochromocytomas.
METHODS: 129 patients with 132 lipid-poor adenomas and 93 patients with 97 pheochromocytomas confirmed by pathology were included in this retrospective study. Patients underwent unenhanced abdominal CT scan followed by arterial and venous phase. Quantitative and qualitative imaging features were compared between the two groups using univariate analysis. Risk factors for pheochromocytomas were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis and a diagnostic scoring model was established based on odd ratio (OR) of the risk factors.
RESULTS: Pheochromocytomas were larger and showed cystic degeneration more frequently compared with lipid-poor adenomas (p < 0.01). No significant difference was found in peak enhancement phase between the two groups (p = 0.348). Attenuation values on unenhanced phase (CTU), arterial phase (CTA), and venous phase (CTV) of pheochromocytomas were significantly higher than that of lipid-poor adenomas while enhancement ratio on arterial and venous phase (ERA, ERV) of pheochromocytomas was significantly lower than that of lipid-poor adenomas (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed lesion size > 29 mm (OR: 5.74; 95% CI 2.51-13.16; p < 0.001), CTA > 81 HU (OR: 2.54; 95% CI 1.04-6.17; p = 0.04), CTV > 97 HU (OR: 11.19; 95% CI 3.21-38.97; p < 0.001), ERV ≤ 1.5 (OR: 20.23; 95% CI 6.30-64.87; p < 0.001), and the presence of cystic degeneration (OR: 6.22, 95% CI 1.74-22.25; p = 0.005) were risk factors for pheochromocytomas. The diagnostic scoring model yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.911.
CONCLUSIONS: Biphasic contrast-enhanced CT showed good diagnostic performance in differentiation of lipid-poor adenomas from pheochromocytomas.
