Overview

Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of thyroid adenoma. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of thyroid adenoma include sharply demarcated nodule, fluid filled cyst, and absent vascularization.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

Thyroid gland ultrasound is one of the first steps and the image modality of choice in thyroid nodule diagnostic evaluation. In the case of multiple nodules presentation, all the nodules should be assessed for suspicious ultrasound characteristics. The important points in ultrasound evaluation include:[1]

  • Confirmation of the diagnosis of a thyroid nodule
  • Assess the size of the nodule
  • Determining the location of the nodule
  • Determination of the shape of the nodule
  • Evaluation of the composition
  • Evaluation of the echogenicity
  • Evaluation of the margins
  • Presence of calcification
  • Evaluation of the vascularity of the nodules
  • Evaluation of the adjacent structures in the neck including the lymph nodes
  • FNA decision making
    • Based on the size, vascularity, and shape

The following characteristics are more likely to be a benign lesion:[2][3][4][5]

  • Purely cystic nodule(< 2% risk of malignancy)
  • Spongiform appearance (99.7% specific for benign thyroid nodule)
  • Complete eggshell-type calcification and peripheral vascularity at the peripheries of the nodule
