Sonography of the neck is a critical tool in monitoring patients after near-total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer. Sonography has proven to be among the most sensitive imaging techniques for the detection of recurrent or residual cancer in the thyroidectomy bed and metastatic cervical lymph nodes. It is important for the sonologist to be familiar with normal postsurgical findings and other disease processes that may imitate malignant lesions. We describe the typical sonographic appearance of benign lesions that can resemble recurrent thyroid cancer.
颈部超声检查是监测分化型甲状腺癌近全甲状腺切除术后患者的关键工具。超声检查已被证明是检测甲状腺切除部位复发性或残留性癌症以及颈部转移性淋巴结最敏感的成像技术之一。对于超声科医生来说，熟悉正常术后表现以及可能模仿恶性病变的其他疾病过程非常重要。我们描述了可能类似于复发性甲状腺癌的良性病变的典型超声表现。
