Background: Cutaneous melanoma has the propensity to early metastatic spread via the lymphatic vessels. Recent studies have found a positive correlation between an increased number of tumor-associated lymphatics and lymph node metastasis. The aim of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in the lymphatic vessel density (LVD) when cutaneous metastasizing melanomas were compared with nonmetastasizing melanomas and nevi.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound in identifying the nature of palpable breast masses based on the BI-RADS classification system.
- The research involved analyzing ultrasound results from 30 women and correlating BI-RADS categories with surgical biopsy findings.
- The results showed that all BI-RADS 5 masses were malignant, while BI-RADS 4A masses were mostly benign, indicating that ultrasound BI-RADS can effectively categorize breast lesions and should be followed by biopsy for further investigation.
Introduction: The first report on ultrasonic findings in subacute thyroiditis was published in 1975 (1). More detailed studies combining ultrasonographic and clinical findings are still missing. The present paper compares echostructure of the thyroid gland with the level of hormones--triiodthyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroglobulin (tg) and thyroglobulin autoantibodies (tg-ab).

In the preoperative period, apart from clinical examination, all patients underwet thyroid gland scyntigraphy, puncture, T3, T4, TSH hormon test, and if clinically relevant, thyroglobulin. On the basis of pathohistologic diagnosis, two groups were formed: nontumour and tumour lesions.
