“…In up to 20 % of all patients, lymph node metastases may even be the sole or initial manifestation of disease (occult primary tumor) [13]. Approximately 40 % (reported range, 21-50 %) of all lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid carcinomas have the tendency to completely cavitate a lymph node by cystic degeneration and thus may mimic an apparently benign cervical cyst [14]. In case of doubt an MRI should be done to assist in the diagnosis [15].…”

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is well known for its low malignant potential and good prognosis. The outcome can be fatal in patients with low compliance and delayed treatment. Recent advances in ultrasonographic screening and US guided fine needle aspiration biopsy has facilitated early diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinomas. This epithelial thyroid tumour accounts for more than 80 % of all thyroid tumours. An occult primary carcinoma of thyroid presenting as lymphangioma has been reported rarely. We present a case of a 40-year-old female patient with huge cystic midline swelling on the right side of the neck mimicking lymphangioma on USG. MRI neck showed a cystic mass causing displacement of the trachea and arising from Rt lobe of thyroid gland. Hemithyroidectomy was carried out and histopathology revealed papillary carcinoma. In patients with neck swellings presenting as huge cystic mass the differential diagnosis of Intra cystic variant of papillary carcinoma thyroid and metastatic thyroid papillary carcinoma must always be considered prior to planning surgery.

Clinical importance of the thyroid nodules arises from their malign potential. There are guidelines from several different organizations to determine follow-up options and, if necessary, surgical treatment options for thyroid nodules. Among them, the guidelines created by ATA and AACE/ACE/AME are accepted in many centers of the world. This paper aims to present the current status of ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy in thyroid nodules in the context of the literature according to the updated versions of these guidelines.

“…However, due to the overlapping two-dimensional images and dependence on subjective judgement of the examiner, standard criteria have yet to be developed for the diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules (Rosario et al, 2005;Tae et al, 2007).…”

Diagnostic Value of Ultrasonography to Distinguish Between Benign and Malignant Lesions in the Management of Thyroid Nodules

Abstract: Our results identified this sonographic classification as a useful tool in the differentiation of malignant nodules from benign nodules. In view of the high negative predictive value of sonographic classification, a more aggressive approach is recommended only for category 3 nodules.
