Sonographic Criteria Predictive of Malignant Thyroid Nodules: Which Lesions Should be Biopsied?

Rationale And Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the ultrasound features of thyroid nodules and their association with malignancy, focusing on establishing feature-oriented ultrasound criteria to determine proper management of a thyroid nodule.

Materials And Methods: A sample of 379 thyroid nodules were biopsied (from a total of 357 patients aged 59.8 ± 14.

Neuroendocrine tumour in pancreatic dorsal agenesis: a rare association.

Pancreatic dorsal agenesis (PDA) is a rare congenital anomaly, usually asymptomatic, that can present with abdominal pain, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and jaundice. Pancreatic tumours in PDA background are extremely rare, and when they occur are mainly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We present a case of a 48-year-old female patient with incidental detection of a 26×20 mm nodular lesion of the cephalic pancreas on ultrasound.
