Efficacy of High Resolution Sonography in Evaluation of Thyroid Lesions - Correlation and Comparison with Histopathology

摘要

ABSTRACT A large spectrum of pathologic entities including benign and malignant lesions is found in the thyroid gland. Lesions of thyroid gland represent some of the most heterogeneous abnormalities in the head and neck. The purpose of this study was to detect thyroid lesions and to differentiate between benign and malignant pathology, based on their sonographic appearance. We evaluated 90 patients with thyroid swelling using high resolution sonography and color Doppler and followed up with HPE.
