Intranodular hyperechogenic figures - case 1669 (ultrasonographic picture 2b)


Previous picture Back to Case Next picture


Right lobe, longitudinal scan. There are figures in the back wall of the cystic areas caused by posterior enhancement, while there is a granule which is clearly a comet-tail artifact (arrow). The exact categorization of the hyperechogenic granules in the solid part of the lesion (arrowheads) is difficult: they might be either comet-tail artifacts or microcalcifications (arrowheads).
