TİROİD NODÜLLERİNDE MALİGNİTE POTANSİYELİNİ DEĞERLENDİRMEDE ULTRASOUND VE SİNTİGRAFİNİN YERİ The Value of Ultrasound and Scintigraphy in Evaluating Malignant Potential in Thyroid Nodules

Year 2017, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 52 - 57, 10.09.2017

Abstract

ÖZET

Amaç: Çalışmamızda tiroid biyopsisi yapılmış hastalarda ultrasonografi (USG), tiroid sintigrafisi

bulguları, tiroid fonksiyon testleri (TFT) değerleri ve tiroid biyopsi sonuçları arasında ilişkiyi saptamayı

amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Aralık 2013-Mayıs 2015 tarihleri arasında Sivas Numune Hastanesi Nükleer

Tıp kliniğine başvuran ve USG eşliğinde tiroid ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi (TİİAB) yapılan

nodüler guatr tanılı 101 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tiroid biyopsi patoloji sonucu diagnostik

olanlar , USG ve tiroid sintigrafisi hastanemizde yapılan olgular çalışmaya dahil edildi.

Tiroid nodülü olan hastalarda TFT değerleri, USG’deki ekojenite, kalsifikasyon, kenar düzensizliği

ve sintigrafideki nodül karakteri nodülün malign benign potansiyelini değerlendirmede kullanıldı.

Bulgular: TİİAB yapılmış olgularda; TSH ile nodül boyutu, nodül ekojenitesi, kenar düzenliği, kalsifikasyon

arasında; sintigrafideki nodül karakteri ile nodül boyutu, ekojenite, kenar düzenliği,

kalsifikasyon arasında; patoloji sonucu ile nodül boyutu, ekojenite, sintigrafide nodül karakteri ve

TSH arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05). Mikrokalsifikasyon (p<0,001)

ve kenar düzensizliği (p<0,001) ile malignite arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptandı.

Mikrokalsifikasyon ve kenar düzensizliği birlikteliğinde malignite açısından istatistiksel anlamlılık

mevcuttu (p<0,001). Mikrokalsifikasyon, kenar düzensizliği ve sintigrafide izlenen nodülün hipoaktifliği

birlikteliğinde malignite açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık mevcuttu (p=0,003).

Sonuç: Tiroid nodülünde USG de mikrokalsifikasyon, kenar düzensizliği ve tiroid sintigrafisinde

hipoaktif nodül birlikteliğinde nodül büyüklüğüne bakılmaksızın TİİAB yapılmalıdır.

Anahtar Sözcükler: Tiroid; USG; Sintigrafi; TİİAB.

ABSTRACT

Objective: We aimed to determine the relationship between ultrasonography (USG), thyroid

scintigraphy findings, found in thyroid function test values (TFT) and thyroid biopsy results in

patients who had undergone thyroid biopsy.

Method: In the study, 101 patients with nodular goiter who were admitted to Sivas Numune

Hospital, Nuclear Medicine Clinic between December 2013 and May 2015, and underwent

thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (TIAB) under USG were retrospectively reviewed. Those

with a diagnostic pathology report after thyroid biopsy and patients who underwent USG and

thyroid scintigraphy in our hospital were included in the study. In patients with thyroid nodules,

TFT values, echogenicity, calcification, irregular borders in USG and characteristics of the nodule

in the scintigraphy examination were used in assessing malignant or benign potential of nodules.

Findings: In TIAB cases, no statistically significant correlation was found between TSH and

the nodule size, nodule echogenicity, border regularity, calcification; between nodule size,

echogenicity, border regularity, calcification in the scintigraphic nodule character; and between

pathology results and nodule sizes, echogenicity, nodule characteristics in scintigraphy and TSH

(p> 0,05). There was a statistically significant relation between microcalcifications (p <0,001) and

irregular borders (p <0,001). There was a statistical significance in terms of malignancy when

microcalcification and irregular borders coexisted (p <0.001). There was a statistical significance

in terms of malignancy when microcalcification, irregular borders and hypoactivity of the nodule

in scintigraphy coexisted (p = 0,003).

Conclusion: TIAB should be performed regardless of nodule size when microcalcification,

irregular borders and hypoactive nodule in thyroid scintigraphy coexist in US examination of a

thyroid nodule.

Keywords: Thyroid; USG; Scintigraphy; TIAB.
