Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the clinical and radiographic features of PNLH and the relationship with pathologic features.

Materials and methods: A total of 11 patients in whom PNLH was confirmed in our department were retrospectively studied. The clinical and radiographic features were extracted and analyzed, and we also discussed the relationship between radiologic and pathologic features.

Results: Of the 11 patients with PNLH, 5 were discovered incidentally, while 4 presented with chest symptoms. Laboratory tests showed no specificity and the lesions were located under the pleura with an adjacent pleural indentation. Most lesions were solid, with some showing signs of spiculation or spiculate protuberance. In some cases, hypodense areas and vocules were visible. The enhanced scan showed marked enhancement, but most had no lymph node enlargement, and there was no pleural effusion.

Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of PNLH are nonspecific and the imaging features overlap with those of malignant lung tumors, and the diagnosis depends on pathologic examination.

肺结节性淋巴样增生的临床和影像学特征

目的：研究PNLH的临床和影像学特征以及与病理学特征的关系：对我科确诊的 11 例 PNLH 患者进行回顾性研究。提取并分析了临床和影像学特征，并讨论了影像学特征与病理学特征之间的关系：结果：在 11 例 PNLH 患者中，5 例是偶然发现的，4 例有胸部症状。实验室检查未显示特异性，病变位于胸膜下，邻近胸膜凹陷。大多数病灶为实性，部分病灶有棘突或棘状突起。部分病例可见低密度区和灶。增强扫描显示病灶明显强化，但多数病例无淋巴结肿大，也无胸腔积液：结论：PNLH 的临床表现无特异性，其影像学特征与恶性肺肿瘤重叠，诊断取决于病理检查。
