Q

When should a FNA be considered?

A

> 1cm micro calcifications
1.5cm mostly solid
2cm mixed components
is it growing
does it have ipsilateral lymohnodes (>7mm)

19
Q

What are the thyroid nodules features for benign or malignancy?
- composition
- echogenicity
- shape
- margination
- calcification

A

composition B- cystic M- solid
echogenicity B- Hyper M- Hypo
shape M- taller than wide
margination M lobulated or irregular
calcification- mostly suggest M

20
Q

When does the isthmus need to be FNA?

A

> 5mm

21
Q

What are the 5 types of thyroiditis?

A

Hashimotos
subacute granulomatous
subacute lymohocytic
acute suppurative
riedel struma

22
Q

What is chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and what does it look like sonographically?

A

Hashimotos
autoimmune dz that damages the thyroid and it cant make thyroid hormones. the pituitary senses low thyroid hormones so it send an increase of TSH and causes the thyroid to grow.
- enlarged, coarse echo texture

23
Q

What is a goiter?

A

abnormal enlargement of the thyroid

24
Q

what is it called when a thyroid is producing the correct amount of thyroid hormone?

A

euthyrooidism

25
Q

What is the most common causes of a goiter ?

A

Old iodine deficiency
New hashimotos

26
Q

What are the two forms of multi nodular goiter

A

Nontoxic MNG- goiter makes normal amounts of thyroid hormones
Toxic MNG- autonomously functioning resulting in hyperthyroidism

27
Q

What is graves dz and what does it look like sonographically?

A

Autoimmune disorder and the immune system produces a protein called thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin and makes the thyroid glade produce too much thyroid hormone. the pituitary senses and that and stops secreting TSH
- Hyporechoic and inhomogenous

28
Q

What is also seen with graves dz?

A

Hypervascularity thyroid inferno
- audible bruit, palpable thrill or color evaluation

29
Q

How many parathyroid glands are there ?

A

four

30
Q

Where can a ectopic parathyroid be located?

A

retrotracheal, mediastinal, intrathyroid, and near carotid bifurcation.

31
Q

What is the difference between primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism?

A

Primary- development of adenoma and ONE parathyroid. PTH and serum calcium increase.
Secondary- occurs with CKD and all FOUR parathyroid. Increase serum phosphates. Decrease serum calcium.

32
Q

What is the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism?

A

Surgical excision of the parathyroid adenoma

33
Q

Where are the following salivary glands and what ducts drain them?
- parotid
- submandibular
- sublingual

A

Parotid- ant to ear. stensens duct
Submandibular- beneath the jaw. Whartons duct.
sublingual- beneatht the tongue. ant to subman gland. no duct.

34
Q

What is the most common benign tumor of the parotid gland?

A

pleomorphic adenoma

35
Q

What is sialadenitis and what gland is it seen in?

A

bacterial infection of the salivary gland d/t stone or gland hyposecretion.
parotid.

36
Q

what is sialolithiasis and what gland is it seen in?

A

calcified mass or sialoith forms in the submandibular gland.

37
Q

What is a thyroglossal duct cyst?
- remnant of what?

A

midline neck mass. cystic dilatation of the duct.
remnant of the thyroid gland migration from the pharyngeal epithelium.

38
Q

What is a branchial cleft cyst
- remnant of what?

A

Cystic mass on the llateral aspect of the neck by mandible and sternocleidomastoid muscle.
remnant of embryonic development

39
Q

What is a cystic hygroma

A

Congential lymphatic malformation.
cystic mutililoculation near neck.

40
Q

What is the anatomy of the neck and aortic arch vessels?

A

Aortic arch vessels
- innominate artery
- left CCA
- left Subclavian.

41
Q

What vessels come off of the innominate ( brachiocephalic trunk)

A

RT CCA and RT subclavian art.

42
Q

What side is the innominate arteries and veins on?

A

RT innominate arteries
Bilateral innominate veins

43
Q

What is the first branch of the ECA and ICA?

A
