Abstract:
Objective To investigate the significance of calcification in thyroid node for diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.Method Retrospective analysis of 107 thyroid nodules' pre-operative ultrasonic and postoperative pathologic results.Results Total ultrasonic thyroid calcification ratio was 27.1%(29/107),which in benign samples was lower than Ihat in malignant samples(17.2%vs 70.0%,P＜0.01).Micro-calci-fication ratio in benign samples Was lower than thai:in malignanl samples(8.0%vs 50.0%,P＜0.01).Conclusion The ralio of thyroid carcinoma with calcification is higher,so the detection of thyroid carcinoma,especially micro-single-calcification should be significant.
