Table 2. Results of Subgroup Analysis on Benign Cysts according to Presence of Pseudoenhancement.
CT Findings | Pseudoenhancement (+)* (42%, n = 19) | Pseudoenhancement (-) (58%, n = 26) | P |
---|---|---|---|
Pre-contrast CT attenuation (HU) | 22.1 ± 18.5 | 38.2 ± 15.0 | 0.003 |
Post-contrast CT attenuation (HU) | 54.6 ± 25.4 | 36.4 ± 15.9 | 0.005 |
Absolute enhancement (HU) | 32.5 ± 18.0 | -1.7 ± 8.7 | < 0.001 |
Long-axis diameter (cm) | 2.0 ± 0.8 | 2.1 ± 0.8 | 0.724 |
Presence of protrusion (%) | 16 (n = 3) | 4 (n = 1) | 0.295 |
*Pseudoenhancement was considered as positive for lesions with absolute enhancement ≥ 10 HU. Lt. = left, Rt. = right
