ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the relationship between CT image characteristics and the pathological subtypes of small lung adenocarcinoma (≤3 cm) with ground-glass opacity(GGO).Methods Two hundred and three cases of small lung adenocarcinoma proved by pathology were collected.Use the 2015 World Health Organization(WHO) classification of lung cancers as pathology standard.The relationship between CT findings and pathologic classification were analyzed statistically.Results There was a positive correlation between CT type and pathological type (rs =0.756).The size of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia(AAH),adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA) lesions were smaller than invasive adenocarcinoma(IAC).AAH lesions were smaller than MIA(P<0.008 3).However,there were no significant size differences in AAH and AIS lesions,or in AIS and MIA lesions (P>0.008 3).The critical point of non-or-little-invasive (AAH,AIS and MIA) and IAC was 15.35 mm (sensitivity 80.8%,specificity 90.4 %).Differences in lobulation,air bronchogram,vacuole sign,pleural indentation and vascular convergence among pathological types were statistically significant (P <0.05).Differences in shape,speculation and cavity among groups were not significant (P >0.05).Conclusion The higher CT type,lower GGO content and bigger lesion size are all associated with increasing tumor degree of malignancy.The size of IAC lesion is usually greater than 15.35 mm.Lobulation,air bronchogram,vacuole sign,pleural indentation and vascular convergence can help to diagnose IAC.
