Difficulties in Differential Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodular Pathology. A Case Report
Keywords: thyroid nodular formation, multiparametric ultrasound examination, sonoelastography, ultrasound with enhanced contrast
This paper presents a clinical case of follicular thyroid cancer, the importance of multiparametric ultrasound in the early detection of thyroid cancer is shown. To diagnose follicular thyroid cancer, multiparametric ultrasound examination was performed in B-mode, color Doppler mapping mode, sonoelastography and in contrast enhancement mode. Based on the results, indications for fine needle aspiration puncture biopsy were determined and further management tactics for the patient with follicular thyroid cancer were determined. Thus, a timely diagnosis and a correct chosen tactics for treating follicular thyroid cancer resulted in a favorable disease outcome.
