“…Nontypical TDGC is considered an affliction of the thyroid gland. 9 The nontypical TGDC structure during the surgical process and the frozen sections showed both the thyroid gland and the central lymph nodes to be benign lesions. Based on all the auxiliary examinations and medical history, the treatment suggested was subtotal thyroidectomy plus central lymph node dissection.…”

“…These can be palpable or imperceptible. 9,10 In addition to local symptoms, such as any other occupying tumors in the upper suprasternal fossa area, and the possibility of developing subclinical or overt thyrotoxicosis, nontoxic diffuse goiter does not have extrathyroidal symptoms, such as ophthalmopathy in Graves’ disease. 10 Nodular goiters are associated with a lack of iodine, natural tendency toward goiter, elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, iron and selenium deficiency, or smoking.…”

The clinicopathologic features of thyroglossal duct cyst when it develops ectopically in the thyroid gland remain unclear because of its rarity, which makes diagnosis difficult. Clinical diagnosis and treatment should not disregard the possibility of thyroglossal cysts located in the thyroid gland. We here report the current case to prepare others and provide data for the diagnosis and treatment of this kind of disease.

“…The concept of Bayesian analysis regarding the accuracy of a test method is vividly described [4]. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, or area under the ROC curve (AUC), a graphical analysis drawn with values of sensitivity and specificity for diagnostic efficiency, allows estimation in parallel to the predictive capability of a posteriori probability, apart from the arithmetic computation for a posteriori probability as a post-test analysis of the data [5].…”

Purpose: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is one of the major health problems in the elderly population, causing significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) modality for the diagnosis of PTB, in comparison to culture test. Material and methods: Thoracic HRCT images of the study population, comprising 124 patients clinically suspected for PTB with smear and culture reports, were analysed for sensitivity and specificity of the HRCT test. Features of active PTB were centrilobular nodules, 'tree-in-bud' pattern densities, macro-nodules, consolidations, cavitary lesions, ground-glass opacities, and miliary nodules. Results: Among the study population, 108 cases presented HRCT features of active PTB and the remaining cases were negative but had presented a few features mimicking PTB. As inferred from positive culture test results, 106 cases had active PTB, the remaining cases were culture negative for PTB. False-positive (FP) or 'type I error' cases, and false-negative (FN) or 'type II error' cases were ascertained by Bayes' theorem. Sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (true negative rate) of HRCT test were 0.8125 and 0.8571, respectively. Conclusions: For proper diagnosis the predictive capability, as two values of 'a posteriori probability' , was computed; the mean value of 'a posteriori probability' for HRCT was 0.6358. When its culture test was positive, the HRCT test was 69.56-92.85% efficient in ascertaining positive results with a sample; on the other hand, when its culture test was negative it was 66.66-100% efficient for a negative result. Thus, the HRCT test is considerably dependable.

“…Texture analyses with various programs are beginning to produce standardized-automated and repeatable information about the nodule-parenchymal background structure. However these analyses have not been able to get in to the routine practice and recent guidelines and they need comprehensive trials to prove their effectiveness [41] [42]. Little but significant differences exist on the management of thyroid nodules in pregnancy and children, although they have not been subject to complex algorithms.…”

The aim of this paper is to review the radiological evaluation of thyroid nodules detected with ultrasonography (US), thoroughly and in harmony with the clinical-endocrinological-surgical management. In this review, we tried to summarize the radiological evaluation of nodules detected in the thyroid in compliance with recently published and accepted guidelines, including the most advanced sonographic protocols, emphasizing the indications of crosssectional imaging when needed. In this review important aspects were demonstrated with tables, illustrations and take-home points and technical aspects were emphasized with images and diagrams. We believe that this review, which is concluded with an extensive summary with the support of most recent sources, is an up-to-date and comprehensive evaluation of the broad spectrum of thyroid nodule radiology. We think that the management of any kind of nodule that can be encountered during the US examination can be done successfully by going through the paths described in the pictures, tables and texts in this article.
