The difference of auxiliary examination parameters between margin recurrence and granuloma on enhanced computed tomography after sublobar resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Imaging examinations following sublobar resection of lung cancer often find thickened neoplasms around the resection margin. Identifying whether the neoplasms are postoperative recurrence or margin granulomas is vitally important. However, the identification mainly depends on the empirical judgment of the imaging department or clinicians in each clinical center at present, and there are few relevant studies, so it is hard to formulate a relatively unified standard. Therefore, we collected data from patients with thickened neoplasms around the resection margin after sublobar resection and sought to discover how to differentiate granulomas from tumor recurrence.

Methods

We examined the clinical records of 15 patients with neoplasms around the margins which identifie
