摘 要:AIM:To retrospectively evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of adult retrorectal tumors and compare with histopathologic ***:MRI features of 21 patients with preoperative suspicion of retrorectal tumors were analyzed based on the histopathological and clinical ***:Fourteen benign cystic lesions appeared hypointense on T1-weighted images,and hyperintense on T2-weighted images with regular peripheral *** or dermoid cysts were unilocular,and tailgut cysts were *** of intracystic intermediate signal intensity was observed in one case of tailgut cyst with a component of *** solid tumors were malignant lesions and showed heterogeneous intensity on *** adenocarcinomas showed high signal intensity on T2-weighted and mesh-like enhancing areas on fat-suppressed T2-weighted *** was a fistula between the mass and anus with an internal opening in mucinous adenocarcinomas arising from anal *** stromal tumors displayed low signal intensity on T1-weighted images,and intermediate to high signal intensity on T2-weighted *** necrosis could be seen as a high signal on T2-weighted ***:MRI is a helpful technique to define the extent of the retrorectal tumor and its relationship to the surrounding structures,and also to demonstrate possible complications so as to choose the best surgical approach.
