摘要:

目的 研究伴淋巴结转移的甲状腺乳头状癌(papillary thyroid carcinoma,PTC)病灶超声影像学特征。方法 回顾性分析2015 年8 月至2020 年12 月在中日友好医院行热消融治疗的PTC 患者的临床资料,根据转移情况分为有淋巴结转移组(转移组)和无淋巴结转移组(无转移组)。比较两组的甲状腺常规超声(ultrasound,US)及超声造影(contrast-enhancedultrasound,CEUS)不同特征的差异。结果 共纳入91 例PTC 患者,其中转移组31 例,无转移组60 例。常规超声转移组PTC 结节纵横比≥ 1 和结节内有微钙化的比例高于无转移组,差异有显著性(P < 0.05);超声造影转移组PI 差小于无转移组,差异有显著性(P < 0.05)。受试者操作特征曲线分析显示:曲线下面积为0.63,最佳临界值PI 差为-7.3,该点预测敏感度为42%,特异度为43%。结论 甲状腺乳头状癌转移组与无转移组有不同的影像学特点,明确上述征象有助于预测PTC 生物学特征。

Abstract:

Objective To study the ultrasonographic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma nodules (PTC) with lymph node metastasis (LNM). Method The data of patients with PTC who underwent thermal ablation from July 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into LNM group and non-LNM group. The imaging features and parameters between the two groups both on conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were compared. Result A total of 91 patients with PTC were included, including 31 cases in the LNM group and 60 cases in the non-LNM group. In the LNM group, the proportion of nodules with length/width ratio larger than 1.0 or with microcalcification were higher than those in the non-LNM group, and the difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05); The peak intensity (PI)difference was lower than that in the non-LNM group (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis was performed to test the diagnostic efficiency of PI difference to diagnose PTC with LNM. The area under the curve was 0.63, the optimum critical value was -7.3, the sensitivity was 42% and the specificity was 43%. Conclusion The imaging features and parameter showed significant differences between the LNM group and non-LNM group. The above results may be helpful to predict the biological characteristics of PTC.
