He presented with hoarseness and a sensation of food sticking in the throat.Ultrasound showed a mixed cystic and solid nodule in the right thyroid lobe, measuring 72脳34mm. CT imaging revealed a well-defined, low-density cystic lesion extending into the superior mediastinum, displacing the ...
(1) Solid or almost completely solid: The nodule is entirely composed of solid tissue or solid components, accounting for more than 50% of the nodule.(2) Mixed cystic and solid: The nodule combines features of predominantly solid and predominantly cystic tissues.(3) ...
Among the total number of the subjects, 26% was found with abnormal ultrasound findings, 17% of them with cystic nodule, while solid and mixed nodule represented 4% for each. The high rate of abnormal findings of thyroid gland in the study suggested that screening using ultrasound scan was ...
However, a spongiform appearance of mixed cystic solid nodules is strongly correlated with benignity (66,70,71,88). A spongiform appearance is defined as the ag- gregation of multiple microcystic components in more than 50% of the volume of the nodule (71). Spongiform and other mixed cystic...
Each nodule was classified as mixed, cystic and solid. Patients with nodules smaller than 1 cm and larger than 4 cm were excluded. Regardless of whether the needle was guided by palpation or ultrasound, basic technique of thyroid FNAB was essentially the same for all procedures. All biopsy ...
Additionally, the output from the classification phase was also be used to determine the percentage of cystic and solid regions with a given thyroid nodule US image.

Based on the comparison of nodule echogenicity with the normal surrounding thyroid tissue, the echoic pattern was classified as without echoes (anechoic), decreased (hypoechoic), equally echoic (isoechoic), increased (hyperechoic), or a mix of these patterns (mixed). The presence of lymph node ...
For cystic lesions with fluid, two to four passes are done.12 If there is a residual solid nodule after aspirating a cystic lesion, additional passes should be performed. After performing two passes, many aspirators prefer to check for specimen adequacy using a rapid Diff-Quik or rapid ...
These tumors exhibit an aggressive clinical course comparable to poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC), an entity classified via the so-called Turin criteria, in which the growth pattern is either solid, trabecular or insular. PTC-related atypia must be excluded and either one of convoluted...
