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...
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...
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...
Este estudio prospectivo analizó en una población argentina la frecuencia de la mutación V600E del oncogén BRAF en pacientes operados por nódulos tiroideos benignos y por carcinoma papilar de tiroides. En estos últimos se compararon las características clínicas y anatomopatológicas en relación ...
ABSTRACT Objective To correlate the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) and the Bethesda system in reporting cytopathology in 1,000 thyroid nodules. Methods A retrospective study conducted from November 2011 to February 2014 that evaluated 1,000 thyroid nodules of 906 patients who und...
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...
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...
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 ...
