Q

hashimotos appearance

A

1) giraffe skin
2) white knights (hyperechoic nodules that are actually regenerative nodules)

Features vary with different stages of disease and extent of involvement (i.e., diffuse vs. focal)

1) Acute, focal: Discrete nodules occur in equal frequency against normal or altered background thyroid parenchyma

2) Acute, diffuse: Diffuse, hypoechoic, heterogeneous, micronodular echo pattern involving entire gland
* diffuse gland enlargement/hypoecho w/ micronodular pattern + bright linear fibrous septa

3) Chronic: Enlarged, hypoechoic, micronodular gland with lobulated outlines; diffuse, hypoechoic, parenchymal echoes (ghost-like thyroid) ± echogenic fibrous septa
4) Atrophic/end stage: Small, hypoechoic gland with heterogeneous echo pattern

41
Q

delphian nodes

A
  • nodes ant to thyroid
  • enlarged w/ Hashimoto
  • sick looking=laryngeal met
42
Q

thyroid cancer type breakdown

A

1) papillary
2) follicular
3) medullary
4) anapestic
5) Hurthle cell

43
Q

thyroid cancer type breakdown

A

1) papillary- microCa, Lymph spread

2) follicular-Hematog spread resp less to I-131, but still good.
- hyper echo + hypoechoic rim
- no Ca

3) Hurthle cell (follicular variant)-elderly. doesn’t respond well to I-131 (FDG-PET for surveillance)
- indist from follicular. Can be more hypo echo (unlike other follicular)

4) medullary- MEN (calcitonin). Local invasion, L/H. Doesn’t respond well to I-131.
- macroCa

5) anaplastic-elderly s/p Rad rx. Fast growing. Lymph spread. Doesn’t respond well to I-131.
- diffuse, avascular/necrotic, ugly

44
Q

thyroid metastasis to other orgns

A
  • microCa in a LN
  • hyperechoic, hyerenchancing, T1+
  • miliary pattern in lungs (pulmonary fibrosis is a risk of treating w/ I-131 if you have diffuse mets)
45
Q

parathyroid anatomy-org of sup and inf glands

A
  • super: 4th branchial pouch

- inf: 3rd branchial pouch. Most likely to be ectopic

46
Q

HyperPTH causes

A
  • hyperfunctioning parathyroid (90%)

- Hyperplasia (8-10%)

47
Q

Parathyroid on ct enhanced scan

A

-early arterial wash in and delayed wash out

48
Q

parathyroid adenoma vs carcinoma

A 
carcinoma uncommon (1% hyperPTH)
-looks v sim to adenoma BUT cervical adenopathy, invasion of adjacent structure
49

T2-parametrium, upper 2/3 vag
T3-lower 3rd vag or pelvic wall
T4-rectum, bladder mucosa

56
Q

colloid cyst

A
  • benign lesion w.o malignant potential
  • unilocular thin walled cyst w/ comet-tail artifact
  • thicker wall/multiseptated if debris/hemorrhage
57
Q

anapplastic thyroid cancer app

A

Invasive hypoechoic thyroid mass, ± focal calcification, ± necrosis against background of multinodular goiter (MNG) in elderly female patient, ± nodal or distant metastases

  • Ill-defined, hypoechoic tumor diffusely involving entire lobe or gland
  • Background of MNG or differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTCa)

-Necrosis (78%), dense amorphous calcification (58%)
Extracapsular spread with infiltration of trachea, esophagus, and perithyroid soft tissues and nerves
Thrombus in internal jugular vein (IJV) and carotid artery (CA), causing expansion and occlusion of vessels
Nodal or distant metastases in 80% of patients
Color Doppler shows prominent, small, chaotic intratumoral vessels

58
Q

de quervians

A

Acute phase: Focal, ill-defined, nodular, hypoechoic, avascular/hypovascular area in subcapsular region

Subacute phase: Diffuse enlargement of 1 lobe or entire thyroid gland with multifocal, patchy/confluent, ill-defined, hypoechoic, avascular/hypovascular areas

Radioactive iodine uptake test or Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan: Focal defect or large area of ↓/absent uptake due to failure of iodine trapping

59
Q

Hemorrhagic Thyroid Cyst

A

Ddx de quervians

  • rapid-onset painful goiter ± preceding history of URI with repeated coughing
  • Well-defined, predominantly cystic nodule with internal debris and fluid level ± thick, avascular septa
  • FNAC for decompression invariably yields altered blood
60
Q

follicular adenoma vs follicular carcinoma vs Hurthle vs adenomatous nodule

A

*follicular lesions tend to be iso/hyper

True adenoma: Benign neoplasm of thyroid glandular epithelium with fibrous encapsulation
-Solid, homogeneous, noncalcified, well-defined, haloed, isoechoic or hyperechoic; hypoechoic is less common and has ↑ risk of malignancy

Adenomatous nodule: Focal adenomatous hyperplasia with incomplete capsule; cold nodule

US features that raise suspicion of malignant FN: Ill-defined, hypoechoic component in otherwise iso-/hyperechoic nodule, thick irregular capsule

Hürthle cell neoplasms have similar imaging characteristics to follicular nodule (FN)

61
Q

parathyroid adenoma on US

A

oval (or flat developing long in fascial planes)
hypoecho to thyroid +/-cystic
thin echo capsule
