Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the additional value of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) in differentiation between inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the sinonasal cavity.
Methods: Patients with pathologically proven IMT and SCC in the sinonasal region were enrolled in this retrospective study. All participants underwent conventional MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, while a subset of them performed DWI. All the MRI parameters were independently analyzed by two investigators.
Results: This retrospective study included 21 patients with IMT and 55 patients with SCC. Significant differences were found in the conventional MR imaging features including mass margin, T2 signal intensity and track sign of maxillary (p < 0.05). For DCE-MRI features, significant differences were found in progressive centripetal continual enhancement and CImax (p < 0.001 and p = 0.026, respectively). A marginal significant difference was found in ADC values between IMT (0.86 ± 0.59) and SCC (1.14 ± 0.25) (p = 0.061). The conventional MRI analysis revealed that the combination of mass margin and track sign of maxillary yielded an accuracy of 81.6%. Using a combination of progressive centripetal continual enhancement on DCE-MRI and track sign of maxillary in multivariate logistic regression analysis, the accuracy was elevated to 92.1%.
Conclusion: The incorporation of DCE-MRI features into conventional MRI showed improved diagnostic performance in differentiating IMT from SCC in the sinonasal region. The novel progressive centripetal continual enhancement on DCE-MRI is the most effective feature of IMT.
