Evaluation of single cold thyroid nodule with 99mTc-Sestamibi [Persian]
In 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mTc-MIBI scan is performed. The nodules are divided to hot (10), Warm (12) and cold (8). FNA reported papillary Ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary Ca and 3 benign lesions). All the nodules with no MIBI ...
متن کاملCan Ultrasound Predict Malignancy in Patient with Thyroid Cold Nodule?
Thyroid nodule is one of the most common endocrine diseases in the world; it occurs in 4-7% of the general population. Depending on the method of discovery, 4-8% nodules are discovered using palpation, 10-41% with ultrasound (US), and 50% through autopsy where only 20% or less of cold thyroid nodules are caused by cancerous lesions. The aim of this study was to assess US as supporting modality ...
متن کاملThyroid Nodule Imaging. Status and Limitations.
Thyroid nodules are common, occurring in almost two-thirds of some populations; among these only about 7% are malignant. The most important question with any new discovered thyroid nodule is, “is this malignant?” The main arbiter of malignancy or benignity remains fine needle aspiration and the mainstay of treatment surgery. But given the resources involved, doing an FNAC or surgery in every di...
متن کاملUltrasound of the cold thyroid nodule.
110 patients with thyroid nodules were examined by ultrasound during the period from April 1981 to June 1983. All patients had thyroid isotope scans which showed cold nodules. Subsequent surgery was performed in each case and histology of the lesions identified. Prior to the introduction of ultrasound the only useful preoperative diagnosis was made by thyroid scintiscanning." The present study ...
