“…Thyroid lesions found during routine EUS have been reported in case reports. [ 2 ] In addition, EUS-guided FNA of thyroid lesions was described in three separate case reports. [ 2 3 4 ] FNA in these case reports detected benign goiter,[ 3 ] Hurtle cell neoplasm,[ 4 ] and primary papillary thyroid cancer.…”

Objectives:There is limited endosonographic literature regarding thyroid gland pathology, which is frequently visualized during upper endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Our objective was to assess the prevalence of benign and malignant thyroid lesions encountered during routine upper EUS within a cancer center setting.Materials and Methods:The data were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. All upper EUS procedures performed between October 2012 and July 2014 were reviewed at a large referral cancer center. Data collected included patient demographics, preexisting thyroid conditions, thyroid gland dimensions, the presence or absence of thyroid lesions, and EUS morphology of lesions if present, and interventions performed to characterize thyroid lesions and pathology results when applicable.Results:Two hundred and forty-five EUS procedures were reviewed. Of these, 100 cases reported a detailed endosonographic examination of the thyroid gland. Most of the thyroid glands were endosonographically visualized when the tip of the scope was at 18 cm from the incisors. Twelve cases showed thyroid lesions, out of which three previously undiagnosed thyroid cancers were visualized during EUS (two primary papillary thyroid cancers and one anaplastic thyroid cancer). Transesophageal EUS-guided fine needle aspiration of thyroid lesions was feasible when the lesion was in the inferior portion of the thyroid gland, and the tip of the scope was at 18 cm or more from the incisors.Conclusions:Routine EUS examination may detect unexpected thyroid lesions including malignant ones. We encourage endosonographers to screen the visualized portions of the thyroid gland during routine withdrawal of the echoendoscope.

“…In a retrospective case series involving nine cases, EUS was used in a diagnosis of a multilocular thyroid cyst. EUS has also been used for diagnosis of primary papillary thyroid carcinoma, or esophageal evaluation of primary thyroid tumors . However, to the authors’ knowledge, the present case is the first to describe parasitic thyroid tissue.…”

“…[9101112] Little information is available regarding the use of EUS and EUS-FNA aspiration cytology (EUS-FNAC) to stage tumors in the head and neck region. [131415] No specific probe has been developed for EUS evaluation of the head and neck region. [1617] EUS with the help of a modified probe has shown results superior to CT and MRI in the assessment of laryngeal cancer.…”

The use of EUS has application in the nodal staging of head and neck cancer. The technique and the anatomy of head and neck region using EUS have not been described. EUS from three stations in thoracic esophagus, cervical esophagus, and hypopharynx can allow imaging of head and neck. In this article we describe the normal structures from the three stations. The EUS imaging of head and neck can give relevant and additional information in malignancies of head and neck.
