Objective To analyze and compare the ultrasound characteristics in different pathologic classifications of thyroid carcinoma.The ultrasound characteristics of thyroid carcinoma were investigated in order to determine the clinical diagnosis and clinical stasing of thyroid carcinoma.Methods In this study,407 cases of thyroid carcinoma were enlisted for ultrasonic typing of thyroid carcinoma according to the ultrasound features.The resuh was used for clinical staging of thyroid carcinoma. Results Combined ultrasound mediated clinical stage has a higher accuracy rate and specificity,its accuracy rate of T stage is 93.9%,for No stage is 86.1%,for N1a stage is 80%,for Nlb stage is 74.9%.Preoporative US detected 51.5% occult metastatic LN.Conclusion Ultrasound has a very important effectiveness for the evaluation.staging,location of thyroid carcinoma and cervical lymph node metastasis.

Objective:
To improve the recognition of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome.
Methods:
The diagnosis and treatment of a 43 years old female patient with multiorgan involvement mimic dermatomyositis was analyzed and discussed.
Results:
The patient presented with fatigue, edema, skin pigmentation, neuropsychiatric abnormalities, hypertension, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia and other systemic involvement, was finally diagnosed with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by paraganglioma of the anterior mediastinum. After surgical removal of the tumor, her clinical symptoms immediately relieved, meanwhile related hormone levels returned to normal.
Conclusion
Although paraganglioma-induced ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome is rare in clinical practice, more attention should be paid to this specific situation.
