To analysis the relationship between ultrasonographic features and pathology of thyroid disease with scattered hyperechoic foci.
Methods:
The ultrasonographic features and pathology were retrospectively analyzed in 41 cases of thyroid disease with hyperechoic foci and 15 cases of thyroid disease without hyperechoic foci.
Results:
The pathological changes of 10 Hashimotos thyroiditis cases with hyperechoic foci were mainly fibrous hyperplasia and 15 Hashimotos thyroiditis cases without hyperechoi
c foci were mainly lymphocyte infiltration accompanied by mild fibrous hyperplasia. The pathological changes of 31 diffuse sclerosing thyroid papillary carcinoma cases were mainly psammoma bodies
and dystrophic calcification as well as colloid also can be seen.
Conclusion:
The appearance of thyroids hyperechoic foci on B-ultrasound can be caused by psammoma bodies
colloid
fiber and dystrophic calcification and so on. Thus
we should pay attention to identifying the cause of the hyperechoic foci in the course of thyroid inspection.
