摘要

The purpose of this study was to clarify ultrasound (US) evaluation of microcalcifications and determine whether the calcifications seen in US scans can reliably predict malignant thyroid tumors. Diagnostic accuracy of microcalcification and other various signs seen in US scans for predicting malignancy was evaluated prospectively in 259 pathologically verified thyroid nodules. Sonographic and pathologic correlation of calcifications was performed on 69 of 99 surgically removed nodules. Pathologic studies revealed that hyperechoic areas with acoustic shadowing represented mostly amorphous dense calcifications and sometimes microcalcifications, but small particles without acoustic shadowing mainly reflected microcalcifications and sometimes large amount of fibrous bands and condensed colloids. Of the various sonographic signs, microcalcification showed the highest accuracy (76%), specificity (93%), and positive predictive value (70%) for malignancy as a single sonographic sign, but its sensitivity (36%)was poor. Although sonographic microcalcification showed relatively high specificity, the accuracy of this finding for malignancy was insufficient.
