Cytological Clues to Pharyngoesophageal Diverticula Mimicking Thyroid Nodules. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Pharyngoesophageal diverticula (PED) are uncommon hypopharyngeal outpouchings that may mimic thyroid nodules because of their close anatomic proximity to the thyroid gland. We describe two cases in which PED presented as thyroid nodules and resulted in atypical cytological findings.

Frequency and significance of Ras, Tert promoter, and Braf mutations in cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules: A monocentric case series at a tertiary-level Endocrinology unit [PDF]
PurposeThe management of thyroid nodules of indeterminate cytology is controversial. Our study aimed to establish the frequency and significance of H-,K-,N-RAS, TERT promoter, and BRAF gene mutations in thyroid nodes of indeterminate cytology and to ...

Interobserver agreement of various thyroid imaging reporting and data systems [PDF]
Ultrasonography is the best available tool for the initial work-up of thyroid nodules. Substantial interobserver variability has been documented in the recognition and reporting of some of the lesion characteristics.

Summary A retrospective analysis of thyroid scintiscanning at one hospital over a 3-year period revealed nineteen patients in whom a solitary, hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule was producing thyrotoxicosis. Most of the patients had clinical features referable to hyperthyroidism and in the majority a solitary nodule was ...

Grey-scale analysis improves the ultrasonographic evaluation of thyroid nodules [PDF]
Ultrasonography is the main imaging method for the workup of thyroid nodules. However, interobserver agreement reported for echogenicity and echotexture is quite low.
