| Abstract:Objective: To explore the characteristics of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). Methods: The clinical data of 24 patients with postoperative pathological diagnosis of XGC in the past 5 years were collected. The sonographic characteristics of conventional ultrasound and CEUS results were analyzed. Results: Conventional ultrasound results showed that the contour of gallbladder was clear in 17 cases (70.8%), fuzzy in 7 cases (29.2%), and the continuity of gallbladder mucosa was good in only 2 cases (8.3%), rich color flow signal could be detected in 17 cases (70.8%). On CEUS, enhancement could be detected in all cases (100.0%), all cases showed clear gallbladder contour (100.0%), and the continuity of mucosal line was good in 18 cases (75.0%). Compared with conventional ultrasound, CEUS had significant difference in the display of gallbladder mucosal line, gallbladder contour, and the detection rate of thickened gallbladder wall blood flow (P<0.001, P=0.009 and P=0.009). Conclusions: CEUS might provide more diagnostic information for XGC, and be more helpful in the diagnosis of XGC than conventional ultrasound. |
