To evaluate the clinical value of additional von Kossa staining on cytology in thyroid nodules with echogenic spots on ultrasound (US).
342 thyroid nodules were analyzed for cytology and von Kossa staining was performed to detect microcalcifications. We compared diagnostic performances and accuracies of FNA and FNA with von Kossa staining to detect malignancy. We evaluated associations of aggressive pathologic features and von Kossa positivity in the surgically confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) group.
Two hundred and thirty two (67.8%) nodules were malignant and 110 (32.2%) were benign on cytopathology. Compared to cytology alone, additional von Kossa staining slightly improved sensitivity from 89.7% to 90.9% (P=0.081). In 207 cases of surgically confirmed PTC, von Kossa positivity was an independent predictor of central lymph node metastasis in PTCs by multivariate analysis (odds ratio, 2.218; P=0.021).
Adding von Kossa staining to cytology improved the sensitivity of thyroid nodules with echogenic spots on US. Positive von Kossa stains in PTCs may also be useful in predicting central lymph node metastasis.
评估对超声(US)检查有回声斑点的甲状腺结节进行细胞学检查时额外进行冯·科萨染色的临床价值。
对342个甲状腺结节进行细胞学分析,并进行冯·科萨染色以检测微钙化。我们比较了细针穿刺抽吸活检(FNA)以及FNA联合冯·科萨染色检测恶性肿瘤的诊断性能和准确性。我们评估了手术确诊的甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)组中侵袭性病理特征与冯·科萨染色阳性之间的关联。
在细胞病理学检查中,232个(67.8%)结节为恶性,110个(32.2%)为良性。与单纯细胞学检查相比,额外进行冯·科萨染色使敏感性从89.7%略微提高到90.9%(P = 0.081)。在207例手术确诊的PTC病例中,通过多因素分析,冯·科萨染色阳性是PTC中央淋巴结转移的独立预测因素(比值比,2.218;P = 0.021)。
在细胞学检查中增加冯·科萨染色可提高超声检查有回声斑点的甲状腺结节的敏感性。PTC中冯·科萨染色阳性也可能有助于预测中央淋巴结转移。
