Background and Objectives: Bethesda III (BIII) thyroid nodules have an expected malignancy rate of 5–15%. Our purpose was to assess which US criteria are most associated with cancer risk, the value critical ultrasound (US) reassessment. Methods: From 2018 2022, 298 BIII were enrolled for thyroidectomy (79 malignancies). We evaluated ultrasonographic data: hechogenicity, intralesional vascularization, spiculated margins, micro-calcifications, “taller than wide” shape, extra-thyroidal growth,...
Lymph node neck metastases are frequent in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Current guidelines state, on a weak level of evidence, that VI dissection is mandatory the presence latero-cervical metastases. The aim our study to evaluate predictive factors for absence involvement despite lateral cervical stations PTC. Eighty-eight patients operated PTC with II–V were retrospectively enrolled study. Demographics, function, autoimmunity, nodule size and site, cancer variant, multifocality,...
