(RFA) for simple cysts, and complex thyroid cysts with a solid component <20%. The efficacy of EA is inversely related to the percentage of solid component within any given lesion. There is some evidence that complex cysts with >20% solid component may have better long-term outcomes with ...

Conclusions:Because the pathologic basis of benign nodule and malignant nodule, benign nodule and malignant nodule are different, their ultrasonographic characteristics are different. This is helpful in differential diagnosis.Keywords: Cystic lesion Nodul...
On T1-weighted images, the cystic teratoma's sebaceous component appeared hyperintense and lost signal upon fat saturation. An intracapsular rounded nodule or Rokitansky nodule and fat-fluid level were also seen (Fig. 1). Chemical shift artifact was seen in T2-weighted images as areas of very ...
Only one of the patient cases reported malignancy the following year, related to a solid tumor with a cystic component, proven to be a micro-invasive cancer of less than 1 mm. There was no cancer diagnosed in this subset of patients. Most of the study subjects were less than 40 years of...
Thyroid noduleCysticUltrasoundFine-needle aspirationCollapseNo published study has evaluated factors that predict successful collapse of the cystic component of benign cystic thyroid nodules after ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA). This study aimed to assess the collapse rate of the...
Nodule volumes, symptoms and cosmetic scores were evaluated before and after EA. EA efficacy in treating cystic and predominantly cystic nodules was compared; and factors related to EA efficacy in each type, including initial volume, solid component, vascularity, fluid nature, ethanol retention time ...
On multivariate analysis, the only factor that influenced the outcome was the nodule type. The cystic component's positive response rate after simple aspiration was higher in the thyroid cysts than in the PCTNs. US-FNA may be effective at collapsing the cystic components of benign thyroid cysts...
nodule sizeBackground A fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules - the least invasive and most accurate method used to investigate malignant lesions - may yield non-diagnostic specimens even under ultrasonographic guidance.Cengic, IsmetTureli, DeryaOzden, FerhatBugdayci, OnurAydin, ...
Over a 2-year period, 64 benign cystic thyroid nodules in 62 patients were treated with EA. Several factors related to EA efficacy were evaluated, including the cystic component volume, volume and color of aspirates, degree of aspiration, and volume of injected ethanol. In all cases, we ...
