Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer.
CT scan
- CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer. Findings on CT scan suggestive of papillary thyroid cancer include nodal masses suggesting metastasis to the lymph node.[1]
- It is of particular attention that papillary thyroid cancer is the most common thyroid cancer for lymph node involvement.
- Nodal mass may be the first presentation of papillary thyroid cancer on CT imaging.
- Involved lymph nodes tend to have any of the following features:[2]
- Cystic components
- Calcification
- Hyperdensity due to proteinaceous or hemorrhagic content
- Primary tumor in the thyroid gland may appear as:
- A solid mass with fine calcification
- A large heterogeneous mass
- CT scan imaging has been observed to have equal sensitivity and accuracy as MRI imaging in the detection of local invasion of the esophagus, trachea/larynx and recurrent laryngeal nerve.
- CT Examples of Papillary thyroid cancer
