Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the safe ty and efficacy of CT-guided percuta neous ethanol injection (CT-PEI) in the treatment of thyroid adenoma. M ethods Fifty-four patients with 73 nodules were included in the study. Thyroi d adenoma was confirmed by pathology. The serum level T3, T4, and TSH were norma l in all cases. CT-PEI (0.3-2.5 ml ethanol/cm~3 nodular tissue) was given for 115 times (mean 1.58?078 times/nodule). Results Complete cu re was observed in 37 nodules (50.7%). In 28 nodules (38.3%) volume reduction was greater than 80%. A significant nodule reduction (50%-80%) was observed in 7 nodules. Only 1 (1. 4%) nodule volume reduction was 28.9%. Apart from 1 case of transient dysphonia and 2 cases of mild pain and burning sensation, no side effect was observed. Conclusion CT-PEI is a safe and effective therapeutic procedure with f ew side effects for thyroid adenoma.
