Pitfalls

Sonographic and cytological differential diagnostic of various diseases and patterns are given in this section. We demonstrate here the potential of a real teamwork with examples of common clinical-cytological-sonographic diagnosis.

Non-tumorous lesions of the thyroid

Thyroiditis

    Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis

    Chronic thyroiditis

    Rare forms of thyroiditis

Hyperlasia

    Nodular goiter

    Goiter with thyroid dysfunction

Other cases

    Parathyroid lesions

    The operated thyroid

Tumors of the thyroid

Tumors of follicular cell origin

    Follicular tumors

    Papillary carcinoma

    Anaplastic carcinoma

Tumors of non-follicular cell origin

    Medullary carcinoma
