OBJECTIVE: Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) remain one of the most common
brain lesions to mimic a brain tumor, particularly primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL)
and high-grade gliomas. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the ability of
apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and conventional MRI features to
differentiate TDLs from PCNSLs and high-grade gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Seventy-five patients (24 patients with TDLs, 28 with PCNSLs, and 23 with
high-grade gliomas) with 168 brain lesions (70 TDLs, 68 PCNSLs, and 30 high-grade
gliomas) who underwent DWI before surgery or therapy were included in the study.
Minimum ADC (ADC(min)) and average ADC (ADC(avg)) values were calculated for each
lesion. ANOVA and ROC analyses were performed. ROC analyses were also performed
for the presence of incomplete rim enhancement and for the number of lesions.
Multiple-variable logistic regression with ROC analysis was then performed to
evaluate performance in multiple-variable models. RESULTS: ADC(min) was
statistically significantly higher (p < 0.01) in TDLs (mean, 0.886; 95% CI,
0.802-0.931) than in PCNSLs (0.547; 95% CI, 0.496-0.598) and high-grade gliomas
(0.470; 95% CI, 0.385-0.555). (All ADC values in this article are reported in
units of × 10(-3) mm(2)/s.) ADC(avg) was statistically significantly higher (p <
0.01) in TDLs (mean, 1.362; 95% CI, 1.268-1.456) than in PCNSLs (0.990; 95% CI,
0.919-1.061) but not in high-grade gliomas (1.216; 95% CI, 1.074-1.356).
Multiple-variable models showed statistically significant individual effects and
superior diagnostic performance on ROC analysis. CONCLUSION: TDLs can be
diagnosed on preoperative MRI with a high degree of specificity; MRI features of
incomplete rim enhancement, high ADC values, and a large number of lesions
individually increase the probability and diagnostic confidence that a lesion is
a TDL.
