Objective To analyze and compare the multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) appearances of papillary microcarcinoma of thyroid (PMCT) and nodular goiter (NG), and to investigate the value of MSCT in the identification of them. Methods MSCT manifestations in 34 cases of PMCT and 46 cases of NG confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed, the MSCT features of PMCT tumor body and NG nodules including shape and edge, with or without calcification, location and shape of calcification, edge continuity and contour change of enhanced nodules, with or without lymph node enlargement aspect were analyzed, using SPSS 19.0 software for statistical analysis. Results There were significant differences between PMCT and NG group in edge of nodules, location and shape of calcification, edge continuity and contour change of enhanced nodules (P<0.05). The comparison of the shape of nodules, with or without calcification or lymph node enlargement between them has no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Comprehensively analyze the MSCT features of PMCT tumor body and NG nodules was helpful for antidiastole between PMCT and NG, and to improve the detection rate of PMCT
