Abstract

Objective To explore the Ultrasound imaging features and pathologic findings of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods The Ultrasound images of 45 cases between January 2014 year to May 2015 year with histopathology-proven papillary thyroid carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed, Analysis the pathologic basics of Ultrasound images. Results The positive rate in Ultrasound images is 96% of 45 cases with 50 tubers. 92% with low echo noeules, 52% with fuzzy boundary, 62% with irregular echo, 40% without peripheral halo ring, 26% with incomplete peripheral halo ring, 72% with a ratio>1 in longitudinal/breadth, 52% with microcalcirication in nudules, 6% with swelling lymph nodes in neck. Conclusion The Ultrasound imaging features of Papillary thyroid carcinoma are based on the pathologic findings.
