Ultrasonographic features and diagnostic accuracy of FNA and CNB in secondary thyroid malignancies: A retrospective study
This study's categorization of secondary thyroid malignancy ultrasonographic features identifies nodular and diffuse patterns, with the application of ACR TI-RADS proving effective for nodular types. In detecting these lesions, CNB demonstrates superior sensitivity compared to FNA. Thus, in cases of thyroid lesions suspected to be malignant, particularly with enlarged neck lymph nodes and in patients with a history of malignancy, CNB is recommended as the diagnostic method of choice.
