Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of different subtypes of non-punctate echogenic foci in thyroid malignancy.

Methods: Retrospective research of 342 thyroid nodules with calcification was performed. The echogenic foci were divided into punctate echogenic foci (type I) and non-punctate echogenic foci (type II), and type II were further divided into four subtypes: macrocalcification (type IIa), continuous peripheral calcification (type IIb), discontinuous peripheral calcification (type IIc) and isolated calcification (type IId).

It is caused by the presence of biallelic loss-of-function variants in the locus. Although hypercalcemia has been linked to the consumption of vitamin D-fortified milk, no reports have documented its role in triggering IIH in patients with variants.
