후복막에 생긴 지방육종의 전산화단층촬영 소견 = CT Finding of Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Four patients with pathologically proven retroperitoneal liposarcomas were examined by computed tomography. The variable densitiesof liposarcomas were closely correlated with their tissue component. Well differentiated liposarcoma was predominently composedof fat density, where as pleomorphic liposarcomas were of higher densities than fat. Liposarcomas often includedmore than one type of tumor tissue, resulting in masses of different densities coexisting within the same mass. CT scan can probvide informations about the location, size, extent, component of the tumor, relationship with adjacent anatomic structure, the presenceof metastasis, in diagnosing this tumor.
