Comparison of Clinical and Ultrasonographic Features of Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
BACKGROUND The clinical behavior and management of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) are very different from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). By comparing the clinical and ultrasonographic features between the two tumors, we proposed to provide more possibilities for recognizing PDTC before treatment. METHODS The data of 13 PDTCs and 39 age- and gender-matched PTCs in Peking Un...
متن کاملUltrasonographic imaging of papillary thyroid carcinoma variants
Ultrasonography (US) is routinely used to evaluate thyroid nodules. The US features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most common thyroid malignancy, include hypoechogenicity, spiculated/microlobulated margins, microcalcifications, and a nonparallel orientation. However, many PTC variants have been identified, some of which differ from the classic type of PTC in terms of biological beha...
متن کاملPAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA IN MASHHAD
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. This study surveys the pathologic characteristics of thyroid cancerin Mashhad and study of papillary carcinoma in more detail. In this retrospective study, 108 out of 197 cases of thyroid cancer were papillary in type (55%), with female to male ratio of 1.91 which is lower than current reports. The age at the time of diagnosis ranged ...
متن کاملImpact of preoperative ultrasonographic staging of the neck in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of occult macroscopic metastasis detected by preoperative US evaluation of the neck in patients with PTC. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a malignancy with a high rate of lymph node metastasis. The findings of routine thyroid ultrasonography (US) and physical examination may underestimate metastatic disease. Thus, we propose that patients diagnosed as h...
متن کاملUltrasonographic findings of papillary thyroid carcinoma with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
OBJECTIVE Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) sometimes occurs with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). It is often difficult to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules in HT because HT varies greatly on ultrasonography. We aimed to characterize the ultrasonographic features of PTC with HT. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 2167 patient records (1897 women and 270 men) were...
