Abstract

Objective: To analyze the different imaging findings of epithelial hepatoblastoma(HB) and mixed HB, and to assess the value of CT and color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of epithelial HB and mixed HB in infants. Methods: CT and color Doppler ultrasonography findings of epithelial HB and mixed HB were evaluated retrospectively in 45 patients with histological confirmation. Accuracies of CT and color Doppler ultrasonography of them were compared. Results: Epithelial HB contained less calcification. And more calcification was discovered in mixed HB. There was significant difference in ratio of calcification in epithelial HB and mixed HB(χ2=13.6, P<0.05). Color Doppler ultrasonography showed high-level echo inside mixed HB lesions. And low-level echo signal was showed in epithelial HB lesions. There was significant difference in intensity of epithelial HB and mixed HB(χ2=12.00, P<0.05). Conclusion: Epithelial HB and mixed HB have characteristics on CT and ultrasound images.
