PURPOSE: To assess the relationships of subsolid nodules (SSNs) with peripheral vessels and aerated bronchi using computed tomography (CT), and to correlate the imaging features with the benign/malignant pathological diagnoses.
METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 83 patients with a solitary SSN (January 2008 to December 2016). SSNs were imaged (LightSpeed 64-slice spiral CT, General Electric, USA), their mean diameter determined, and the relationship with peripheral vessels (types I-IV) and aerated bronchi (types I-V) were classified. Pathologic diagnoses were obtained from the surgical specimens.
RESULTS: SSNs were diagnosed as benign (n = 29), pre-invasive (n = 9), micro-invasive adenocarcinoma (n = 7) and invasive adenocarcinoma (n = 38). SSN size, peripheral vessel class and aerated bronchus class differed between pathologic types (P < 0.05). For benign SSNs, peripheral vessel type II (58.6%) was most common, followed by III (20.7%) and IV (6.9%). Aerated bronchus type V (65.5%) was most frequent, followed by IV (27.6%); type I aerated bronchus was not observed. No cases of micro-invasive or invasive adenocarcinoma were peripheral vessel type I or aerated bronchus type V. For invasive adenocarcinoma, 92.1% were peripheral vessel types III + IV while 71.8% were aerated bronchus types I + II.
CONCLUSIONS: SSN pathologic types differ with regard to peripheral vessel and aerated bronchus types. Type I peripheral vessel and type V aerated bronchus (both least involved) suggest a benign lesion, whereas type III/IV peripheral vessel and type I/II aerated bronchus (both most involved) suggest malignancy.
