These nodules should be differentiated from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and primary thyroidal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PTL), which are possible complications of HT, and require pre-surgical diagnoses and different ...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of strain ratio measurement in differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules coexisted with Hashimoto thyroiditis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the differential diagnostic potential of lesion stiffness assessed by the sonoelastographic strain index ratio (SR) for thyroid nodules coexist with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). METHODS A total of 50 focal thyroid nodules from 36 patients with HT (mean age 38.4 years; range 19-77) scheduled for fine-needle aspiration or thyroid surgery were included. After a routine conve...

متن کاملNonalpine Thyroid Angiosarcoma in a Patient with Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Thyroid angiosarcoma is an uncommon thyroid carcinoma and its incidence is the highest in the European Alpine regions. Thyroid angiosarcoma is also a very aggressive tumor that can rapidly spread to the cervical lymph nodes, lungs, and brain or can metastasize to the duodenum, small boewl, and large bowel. Although it is histologically well defined, clear-cut separation between the angiosarcoma...
متن کامل[Cytological findings in scintigraphically nonfunctioning thyroid nodules].
BACKGROUND/AIM The major one among the procedures for evaluating changes in the thyroid nodules is fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Thyroid scintigraphy is commonly used in diagnostic algorithm of nodules. Less than 5% of examined nodules show to be malignant. Scintigraphically, nodules could be classified as functional and nonfunctional. It is estimated that the risk of malignancy in nonf...
