“…Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography stands out in the judgment of TC tumors, but the traditional ultrasound examination of thyroid nodules has a large overlap in the image of BAM thyroid nodules, which makes the clinical practice of ultrasound diagnosis of BAM thyroid nodules facing major challenges [ 7 , 8 ]. Because the number, shape, and structure of blood vessels in malignant tumor tissues usually undergo significant changes, CEUS can analyze the differences between the two by observing the dynamic perfusion function of the lesion and surrounding tissues and improve the diagnostic efficiency of TT [ 9 , 10 ]. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a technique that enhances the backscattered echo with contrast agent and significantly improves the resolution, sensitivity, and specificity of ultrasonic diagnosis.…”

In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) patients has gradually increased, and it ranks first among all endocrine tumors. TC has no obvious characteristics at the initial stage of onset. Thyroid tumors (TT) have formed when they are discovered, and they are easy to see when they are diagnosed. The disease is confused, so it is necessary to rely on imaging methods for tumor diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), as the most commonly used imaging method in current clinical testing, is simple, safe, highly sensitive, can accurately display tumor conditions, and has high clinical value in the judgment of TC tumors. This article uses meta-analysis to select 63 published studies on CEUS to determine benign and malignant (BAM) TT to analyze and explore its clinical application value. This article understands the analysis of BAM TT and its diagnostic methods, clarifies the diagnostic efficiency of CEUS for TT, imaging methods, and imaging characteristics, and uses statistical analysis to analyze its heterogeneity. In this paper, the meta-analysis of CEUS in judging BAM TT is mainly based on references. The sensitivity, specificity, and difference of CEUS in diagnosing BAM TT are analyzed. Real-time elastography (RTE) is the comparison experiment object, and CEUS is used to compare the diagnostic efficiency, pathological results, and diagnostic efficiency of thyroid nodules in CEUS mode. The results of the study show that the nodule with higher diagnostic sensitivity is the echo feature, with a sensitivity of 97.73%, followed by the halo feature, with a sensitivity of 86.36%. In terms of diagnostic specificity, the boundary feature is the most specific. The specificity is 89.47%. In the judgment of BAM tumor nodules, the most obvious difference is the echo feature, which is as high as 14.09, followed by the acoustic halo feature, and the difference is 10.65.

“…Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a new imaging method that is widely accepted for its safety and accuracy (14). Yang (15) once succeeded in diagnosing a case of thyroid haemangioma with CEUS preoperatively, and believed that the "slow in and slow out" pattern of contrast filling and perfusion was the characteristic feature of haemangioma. Wu (16) summarized the typical features of liver haemangioma as peripheral nodular and centripetal enhancement during the arterial phase followed by hyperor isoenhancement during the portal venous and late phases on CEUS.…”

Arteriovenous haemangioma of the vas deferens: a case report and literature review

et al. 2021

Arteriovenous haemangioma of the vas deferens is an extremely rare entity in clinical practice.To date, there have been no clinical or pathological cases reported in Medline, Embase or other published English literature. Herein, a 50-year-old male who presented with right scrotal pain for 4 years after vasectomy was admitted to our hospital. One painful nodule was palpable in the right scrotum on physical examination. Color Doppler ultrasound merely showed dilation of the epididymis and no additional information concerning the painful nodule in the right scrotum. Moreover, the laboratory test results were all within normal limits. Ibuprofen was administered to the patient for 2 months with a poor effect, and then spermatic cord block significantly relieved his symptoms. This patient underwent resection of the right painful nodule of the vas deferens under medical advice. Postoperative pathological examinations showed arteriovenous haemangioma of the vas deferens. There were no obvious complications after arteriovenous haemangioma excision, and the right scrotal pain was significantly relieved 1 month later. This article reminds urologists and oncologists that haemangioma can involve the vas deferens and, in addition to spermatic granuloma, might be a cause of post-vasectomy pain syndrome. Cauterization of the vas deferens might have a potential relationship with haemangioma.

We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, treatment, and prognosis of a male infant who was diagnosed with mediastinal and subglottic hemangioma in our hospital. The clinical features of this patient were coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea. Enhanced computed tomography of the neck and chest showed a diffuse abnormality in the right-upper mediastinum. He was diagnosed with a hemangioma after a physical examination combined with bronchoscopy. The clinical symptoms were relieved by oral propranolol. We also investigated the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of mediastinal and subglottic hemangioma in infants in the previous literature, and searched for case reports of this disease in China and in other countries. We only identified three previous cases of mediastinal and subglottic hemangioma in infants, indicating that this condition is rare. In the proliferative stage, surrounding organs and tissues are compressed, which can be life-threatening. Most of these children develop wheezing, shortness of breath, dyspnea, cyanosis, and other symptoms within 2 months. Enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging combined with soft bronchoscopy can confirm the diagnosis of this disease, and oral propranolol achieves a favorable effect.
