Abstract: Objective:To investigate 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging features of pneumonic-type pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma(PPIMA).Methods:The imaging data of 20 patients with PPIMA confirmed by surgery and biopsy were retro-spectively analyzed.All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging to observe the lesion morphology,density,signs around and inside the lesion,metabolism and distant metastasis.Results:Among the 20 cases of PPIMA,2 cases(10.0%)had single flaky solid shadow,and 18 cases(90.0%)had multiform and multifocal distribution of solid shadow with ground glass shadow and nodule shadow.Abnormal air bronchial sign was found in 16 cases(80.0%).Cavity and cavum were found in 12 cases(60%).There were 8 cases(40%)with peri-focal ground glass density.The adjacent interlobar fissure was enlarged in 11 cases(55.0%).Intrapulmonary metastasis occurred in 4 cases(20%).The internal density of the solid lesions was not uniform,and CT value was(27.2±6.8)HU.Metabolism varied,SUVmax 5.2±1.9.There was a significant correlation between SUVmax and CT values(r=0.765,P=0.000).Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT of PPIMA has certain characteristics,which is helpful for early diagnosis and staging of PPIMA.
