Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Suspected Salivary Gland Lymphoma in Sjögren's Syndrome.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and utility of core needle biopsy (CNB) for diagnosis of salivary gland lymphoma in Sjögren's syndrome (SS).

Methods: We analyzed data from consecutive SS patients who underwent ultrasound-guided major salivary gland CNB for lymphoma diagnosis and determined whether CNB yielded an actionable diagnosis without need for further intervention.

Results: CNBs were performed in 24 patients to evaluate discrete parotid (n = 6) or submandibular (n = 2) gland masses or diffuse enlargement (n = 16; 15 parotid).

ACR TI-RADS: An advance in the management of thyroid nodules or Pandora's box of surveillance?

Numerous sets of guidelines have been proposed regarding ultrasound of thyroid nodules. None has been universally accepted. American College of Radiology-Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIRADS) has been promoted as an improvement to existing guidelines such as the 2015 revised American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines.
