Correlation of Computed Tomography Parameters with Histology, Stage and Prognosis in Surgically Treated Thymomas.

ABSTRACT: Background and objectives: The histological classification and staging of thymic tumors remains a matter of debate. The correlation of computed tomography (CT) parameters with tumor histology and stage also still has to be completely assessed. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze the correlation of radiological parameters with histological and staging classifications of thymomas evaluating their prognostic role. Methods: Data of 50 patients with thymoma submitted to a complete surgical treatment between 2005 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Tumors were classified according to the WHO and Suster and Moran (S&M) histological classifications and to the Masaoka-Koga and tumor, node and metastases (TNM) staging systems. The correlation of CT features with histolog
