无功能甲状腺结节的超声评估

West J Med. 1975 Oct;123(4):265-8.

Thyroid echography was carried out on 100 patients with thyroid abnormalities to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in differentiating simple thyroid cysts from solid thyroid nodules. In all 46 proven cases, the ultrasonic diagnosis of the solid or cystic nature of thyroid nodules was correct.A proposed diagnostic workup of a hypofunctioning (cold) thyroid nodule is suggested with primary needle aspiration and cytologic examination of the cyst fluid being recommended if the nodule is shown to be entirely cystic by ultrasound.

对100例甲状腺异常患者进行了甲状腺超声检查，以评估超声鉴别单纯性甲状腺囊肿与实性甲状腺结节的诊断准确性。在所有46例经证实的病例中，超声对甲状腺结节实性或囊性性质的诊断均正确。对于功能减退（冷）性甲状腺结节，建议采用初步针吸活检并对囊液进行细胞学检查的诊断性检查方法，前提是超声显示该结节完全为囊性。
