“…He found intraglandular dissemination in 58% of the 79 cases he studied 13) . Similar studies by Black et al found multicentricity in 20% 14) , and Underwood et al found contralateral lobe involvement in 32% of cases studied 15) . Each of these authors advocated total thyroidectomy or more based on their findings.…”

“…6) [15,16]. The major route of spread of papillary carcinoma is through the lymphatics of the neck and therefore laterocervical and/or recurrent adenopathies are either often associated with the primary tumour at initial diagnosis (approximately 50 % of cases) [17,18,19] or may develop after thyroidectomy. These nodes often reproduce the appearance of the primary tumour, showing microcalcifications, cystic changes or chaotic hypervascularity (Fig.…”

In the past 15 years high-frequency B-mode sonography and colour-power Doppler have become the most important and most widely employed imaging modalities for the study of the neck, in particular for thyroid gland, parathyroids and lymph nodes. Sonography allows not only the detection but often also the characterization of the diseases of these organs, distinguishing benign from malignant lesions with high sensitivity and specificity, which could be further improved by the employ of ultrasound contrast agents and harmonic imaging. Although no single sonographic criterion is specific for benign or malignant nature of the lesions, the combination of different signs can be markedly helpful to speed up the diagnostic process. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) remains the most accurate modality for the definitive assessment of thyroid gland nodules and of any doubtful case of nodal disease. In association with clinical findings and serum levels of parathormone, FNAB has specificity close to 100% for the characterization of parathyroid adenomas. A combined approach with sonography and FNAB is generally highly effective.

“…Multiple foci of tumour are found in 13-20 per cent of all resected papillary carcinomata of the thyroid gland (Meissner and Adler, 1958;Black, Kirk, and Woolner, 1960;Block, Horn, and Brush, 1960), and this relatively high incidence would seem to justify total thyroidectomy in all cases of papillary carcinoma, as suggested by these authors.…”
