Our experience suggests that intrathyroid thyroglossal duct cyst should be remembered in the differential diagnosis of a thyroid nodule. Detection of benign squamous cells by US-FNAB may be useful for ruling out the possibility of a cystic thyroid tumor. 展开 关键词:...
If the smear reveals changes suggestive but not diagnostic of PTC, a re-aspiration of the cyst or any residual nodule within the cyst wall should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Occasionally, PTC can be seen in association with HT, and that occurrence can create diagnostic dilemmas. ...
Ultrasonography is helpful for differentiating anaplastic thyroid carcinoma from other benign lesions such as subacute thyroiditis, or hemorrhage in a cyst or adenoma [8, 10]. Also it is particularly useful for establishing the diagnosis by guiding FNAC or core needle biopsies [13]. CT and MRI ...
bAspiration of the cyst may be considered for symptomatic or cosmetic drainage. ETE, extrathyroidal extension. 14 ATA THYROID NODULE/DTC GUIDELINES 15 solid component and cyst, and the presence of micro- calcifications consistently confer a higher risk of malignancy (85–87). Other findings such...
Most socie- ties recommend FNA for nodules 1 cm or larger which also have the respective US features and for nodules 2 cm or larger except for those with a simple cyst3,6–8. Since the SRU recommended FNA for thyroid nodules, a size cut- off of 1.5 cm has been used to ...
The etiology of thyroid nodular lesions was as follows: cyst in 43 (30.0%), adenomatous goiter in 14 (9.8%), adenoma in 11 (7.7%), hypoechoic lesion in 17 (11.9%), and intrathyroid calcification in 8 (5.6%). Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed in 5 patients...
Cyst fluid, with or without histiocytes, and fewer than six groups of ten benign follicular cells. Exceptions: Any atypia; Solid nodule with inflammation (thyroiditis); Abundant colloid (colloid nodules). In the third edition of TBSRTC, “Unsatisfactory” is removed from the name of the category...
These included 18 cases of thyroid cyst, 13 cases of solid nodule, and six cases of multiple nodules with ill-defined margins. Patients with thyroid abnormalities were older than those without lesions [59.3 +/- 9.2 years (mean +/- SD) vs 50.1 +/- 12.8 years, p < 0.001]. In addition...
The minimally invasive procedure uses ultrasound and a special electrode to burn a benign nodule or “seal” a thyroid cyst if fluid accumulates after the procedure. These procedures may involve using a laser technique or alcohol ablation. The procedures are minimally invasive and may avoid causing...
