Characteristic ultrasound properties - hypoechogenicity
Secondary thyroid carcinomas - Case 10: metastasis of a squamous-cell lung cancer
Secondary thyroid carcinomas - Case 14: metastasis of a mucoepidermoid cancer


All metastatic carcinomas in our practice presented a hypoechogenic nodule. The secondary carcinomas frequently display irregular borders corresponding to the infiltrative nature (see right case). The determination of vascular pattern has no relevance except for the lack of perinodular blood flow.
