the mean nodule size was different between two groups. This may be associated with a sampling bias. Second, 21 FNA cases with purely calcified thyroid nodules, thyroid cysts, or partially cystic thyroid nodules were excluded. Third, we did not investigate all the gauges of needles...
With ultrasound, the papillary lesion shows as a solid nodule, with an often discreetly microlobulated margin, sometimes seen within a dilated duct. Its echostructure is more or less heterogeneous, corresponding to cystic or hemorrhagic changes (Fig. 16). Doppler mode reveals rich internal vasculari...
THYROID nodulesTHYROID glandRADIO frequency therapyTREATMENT effectivenessCONTROL groupsTo investigate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation and its effect on thyroid function in patients with cystic-solid thyroid nodules.Methods: We enrolled 90 patients with cystic-solid thyroi...
Results: As the size of thyroid nodules increased, the incidence of cystic changes in both benign and malignant nodules showed a linear increasing trend (Z-values of 46.251 and 156.586, respectively; P values < 0.001 for both). The occurrence rate of solid malignant nodules was...

noduleThe value of the conventional 99mTc-pertechnetate scan, to differentiate cystic from solid solitary or dominant non-functioning nodules in the thyroid was investigated in 104 patients. Although these nodules are thought to be non-functioning, a low level of radioactivity can be detected in ...
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of a sequential treatment including percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in terms of volume reduction and complication rate in large, benign, partially cystic thyroid nodules with solid ...
However, the increased number of needle passes causes more complications and tissue injuries, e.g., papillary endothelial hyperplasia, hemorrhage, capsular distortion, fibrosis, cystic change, vascular thrombosis, vascular proliferation, and nodule infarction [36]. Furthermore, with the increasing number...
