Abstract

31 histopathologically confirmed cases were collected for their pathological and CT characteristics and results were statistically compared between different pathological types of thymic epithelial tumors at Hospital no. 103, from 10/2012 to 10/2014.
Results: Tip AB is the most (51,6%). Round shape is in all histologic subtypes; oval is not in B3; also plaque shaped appears only once in the AB. Tumor types A and AB have smooth contour (63% and 69%). Tumor type B2 and B3 have irregular contour and hight degree of enhancement. All thymoma group types B have calcification status. The degree of contrast medium suffusion is also the highest in the group B2 and B3.
Characteristics of the thymic tumor on CT scans chest is important and meaningful in predicting pathological types of thymic epithelial tumors before surgery. The "malignant characteristics" of thymomas on chest CT-scan are: irregular contours, the hight degree of enhancement and the high contrastmedium suffusion, calcification status.
