Comparative Study Between High Resolution Ultrasound with Histopathological Examination in the Diagnosis of Lesions of The Thyroid Gland
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
The diseases of thyroid form a major share of head and neck surgery. Clinical examination although very accurate in most cases, is inadequate in most areas especially in staging of thyroid malignancies and in detecting the multinodularity of the gland. The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of high resolution USG with final HPE diagnosis. The present study is a prospective study of patients presenting with clinical suspicion of thyroid diseases referred to the department of Otorhinolaryngology, SSIMS&RC, Davangere from January 2015 to December 2015. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of USG in comparison to HPE for benign lesions were 100%, 25%, 89.66% and 100% and for malignant lesions were 25%, 100%, 100% and 89.66% respectively. High resolution USG alone had lower specificity but higher sensitivity in diagnosing benign lesions and higher specificity but lower sensitivity in diagnosing malignant lesions.
