2024年12月12日 · Ultrasound. Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used initial imaging modalities. Greyscale. most nodules need to be >1 cm to be confidently seen on ultrasound. parathyroid adenomas tend to be homogeneously hypoechoic compared to the …

2024年10月10日 · Ultrasound. Parathyroid gland is not usually visible on ultrasound. If it is seen on ultrasound, pathology should be suspected 6. A high-frequency (5-10 MHz) probe can be used to scan the parathyroid glands.

Microscopically the parathyroid parenchyma was composed of an encapsulated benign tumoral proliferation of epithelial nature with a peripheral rim of compressed normal parathyroid tissue. This tumoral proliferation was composed mainly of chief cells with clear cytoplasm, round nuclei.

2021年9月20日 · Ultrasound. A study of 69 cases of parathyroid lesions >15 mm in size, of which eight were carcinomas, and the rest adenomas, examined the useful differentiating sonographic features 4. It was found that the presence of invasiveness or calcification of the lesion had a 100% positive predictive value (PPV) for carcinoma.

2025年1月11日 · Parathyroid adenomas are also confounding nodules. No sonographic features are 100% sensitive or specific (although lymphadenopathy with microcalcifications is 100% specific). A suspicious nodule (and lymph node, if applicable) should undergo biopsy with fine needle aspiration .

2024年7月2日 · Parathyroid hyperplasia is the diffuse enlargement of the parathyroid glands and is a less common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism.

An anechoic cyst with a regular wall in the superficial part of right lobe of thyroid. No soft tissue component identified.

2025年1月12日 · Ultrasound is the modality of choice for diagnostic assessment of thyroid nodules 4. It also allows for ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of selected nodules. Treatment and prognosis. Symptomatic benign thyroid nodules are commonly managed surgically (i.e. hemithyroidectomy/thyroidectomy 7).

2024年6月14日 · Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common type of congenital neck cysts and pediatric neck masses. They are typically located in the midline and are the most common midline neck mass in young patients. They can be diagnosed with multiple imaging modalities including ultrasound, CT and MRI.

2021年11月29日 · Ultrasound. hyperechoic focus in a thyroid nodule; reverberation artifact/comet tail artifact. this feature is the most reliable in differentiating inspissated colloid from microcalcifications; Inspissated colloid can vary in size and tend to be larger than microcalcifications, however, there is overlap in size between the two entities.
