RESUMO
Objective To analysis and research the clinical pathological characteristics with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)and nodular goiter.Methods 100 cases with thyroid disease were selected,the preoperative ultra-sound diagnosis and pathological diagnosis results were compared,and pathological features were analyzed.Results Ultrasound results:ther were 72 cases with PTC,and 28 cases with NG,and pathologically confirmed 48 cases with PTC,52 cases with NG.The difference of two diagnostic result was statistically significant (χ2 =5.263,P <0.05). Compared with 48 PTC cases,the ratio of single nodule in 52 NG patients was smaller,while multiple nodules and cystic lesions proportion were higher,the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =58.19,73.97,25.40,all P <0.05).PTC was characterized by solid nodules of gray matter,often located near the thyroid capsule.Large tumors may be cystic.NG was characterized by single or multiple nodules,with different size,and some nodules with incomplete capsule,some with thick fibrous capsule.Nodular cystic necrosis hemorrhage was common.Conclusion Ultrasound diagnosis and can make a more accurate judgment between NG and PTC,but there are still misdiagnosed on the two diseases,for PTC and NG accurate judgment also need to rely on pathological identification,so grasping the pathologi-cal features of both can improve diagnostic accuracy.
