COMPARISON OF PATHOLOGICAL RESULTS WITH ULTRASONIC CHARACTERISTICS IN PATIENTS WITH THYROID TUMORS AT SAINT PAUL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Compare the pathological results with ultrasound characteristics in patients with thyroid nodules at Saint Paul Hospital. Subjects and methods: Study to compare the pathological results with ultrasound characteristics of 85 patients with thyroid nodules under ultrasound guidance at the Hanoi Center for High Technology and Digestion from January 2022 to November 2024. Results: In 85 patients, 18.8% of cytological results were suspicious of malignancy. The group of thyroid nodules with microcalcification, irregular edges, and hypoechoic had a higher malignancy rate than the benign nodule group, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the malignancy rate between single nodules and multinodular goiters. Conclusion: Ultrasound with TIRADS classification and fine needle aspiration are both effective and safe methods in screening and diagnosing thyroid diseases.
