Can Ultrasound Predict Malignancy in Patient with Thyroid Cold Nodule?
Thyroid nodule is one of the most common endocrine diseases in the world; it occurs in 4-7% of the general population. Depending on the method of discovery, 4-8% nodules are discovered using palpation, 10-41% with ultrasound (US), and 50% through autopsy where only 20% or less of cold thyroid nodules are caused by cancerous lesions. The aim of this study was to assess US as supporting modality ...
متن کاملUltrasound of the cold thyroid nodule.
110 patients with thyroid nodules were examined by ultrasound during the period from April 1981 to June 1983. All patients had thyroid isotope scans which showed cold nodules. Subsequent surgery was performed in each case and histology of the lesions identified. Prior to the introduction of ultrasound the only useful preoperative diagnosis was made by thyroid scintiscanning." The present study ...
متن کاملRole of ultrasound, clinical and scintigraphyc parameters to predict malignancy in thyroid nodule
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate clinical, laboratory, ultrasound (US) and scintigraphyc parameters in thyroid nodule and to develop an auxiliary model for clinical application in the diagnosis of malignancy. METHODS We assessed 143 patients who were surgically treated at a single center, 65% (93) benign vs. 35% (50) malignant lesions at final histology (1998-2008). The clinical, labor...
متن کاملEvaluation of single cold thyroid nodule with 99mTc-Sestamibi [Persian]
In 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mTc-MIBI scan is performed. The nodules are divided to hot (10), Warm (12) and cold (8). FNA reported papillary Ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary Ca and 3 benign lesions). All the nodules with no MIBI ...
متن کاملThyroid nodule shape suggests malignancy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if a nodule with shape taller than wide (anteroposterior/transverse diameter ratio, A/T > or = 1) is a good predictor of malignancy independent of the size. METHODS We retrospectively examined the cytological and histological results of 7455 nodules (5198 patients) referred for ultrasound-guided-fine needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) in our hospital from January 1991 ...
