BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The US features of benign and malignant nodules
overlap, and benign thyroid lesions can mimic thyroid malignancy on US. Benign cystic …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is no prospective study related to the sonographic
differentiation of malignant PCTN from benign PCTN. This prospective study was designed …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The ability of US to differentiate benign thyroid nodules
from malignant ones is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to assess the …

Objective. The purpose of our study was to provide sonographic findings of cystic nodules,
which can mimic malignancies, after fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) and to determine the …

OBJECTIVES: To identify the associated factors for malignancy in partially cystic thyroid
nodules (PCTNs) on ultrasound (US). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective …

Objective To seek for the ultrasound (US) findings of partially cystic thyroid nodules that are
associated with malignancy. Materials and Methods We reviewed the US characteristics of …

Ultrasonography (US) is one of the most important methods for the management of thyroid
nodules, which can be classified as solid, partially cystic, or cystic by composition. The …

Purpose To enhance the diagnostic accuracy of conventional ultrasonography in
differentiating papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) from degenerating cystic thyroid …

Background: Thyroid nodules are very common and a large portion are mixed echoic, with
both solid and cystic areas. There are few studies regarding the reliability of …

Purpose The aim of this multicenter study was to investigate the malignancy risk of minimally
cystic thyroid nodules (MCTNs) using cyto-histopathologic diagnoses as the reference …
