Efficacy and safety of a single radiofrequency ablation of solid benign non-functioning thyroid nodules

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of our study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) for benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) over a 1-year follow-up. Subjects and methods This is a monocentric retrospective study. Forty-eight patients with solid, non-functi...

Sonographic scoring of solid thyroid nodules: effects of nodule size and suspicious cervical lymph node

Abstract Introduction Ultrasound is the most frequently used imaging method to evaluate thyroid nodules. Sonographic characteristics of thyroid nodules which are concerning for malignancy are important to define the need for fine needle aspiration biopsy or open surgery. Objective To evaluate malignanc...

Increasing diagnostic effectiveness of thyroid nodule evaluation by implementation of cell block preparation in routine US-FNA analysis

ABSTRACT Objective Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) biopsy has proven to be an accurate and efficient tool in thyroid nodule evaluation. We evaluated whether cell block adds to the diagnostic accuracy of US-FNA. Subjects and methods Three hundred twenty-eight consecutive patients und...

Painless thyroiditis associated to thyroid carcinoma: role of initial ultrasonography evaluation

Even though it is a rare event, most associations of thyroid carcinoma with subacute thyroiditis described in the literature are related to its granulomatous form (Quervain’s thyroiditis). We present a patient with subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis (painless thyroiditis) and papillary thyroid cancer...

Relación entre el valor del ratio elastográfico y la clasificación citológica de Bethesda en la patología tiroidea
Relationship between the value of elastography ratio and the cytological classification of Bethesda in thyroid pathology

Rev. argent. radiol; 78 (3), 2014
Objetivo: Presentar nuestra experiencia en la categorización de la patología tiroidea, a través de la utilización de parámetros ecográficos de malignidad y elastografía con medición del ratio de la deformación tisular, y la correlación de los hallazgos obtenidos con la clasificación citológic...

Extendidos delgados en la puncion aspiracion con aguja fina de tiroides: un estudio de 200 casos
Thin layer preparations in thyroid fine-needle aspiration: study of 200 cases

INTRODUCTION: Trying to increase the specificity and demonstrated sensibility of thyroid fine needle aspiration (TFNA) in the diagnosis of the thyroid nodule, and to improve the cytomorphologic diagnosis, we used the approach of realization of thin prep (TP), adapting the technique to the methods within ...
