Sonography in thyroid carcinoma in children

CJ Garcia, A Daneman, K McHugh, H Chan and D Daneman
Department of Radiology, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This paper reviews the clinical, sonographic and pathological findings of 20 children with thyroid carcinoma in an attempt to determine the value and limitations of sonography in thyroid neoplasms in this age group. Although sonography is an excellent technique for the evaluation of thyroid disorders and masses, certain limitations must be kept in mind. Microscopic foci of tumour might be missed and sonography cannot predictably differentiate benign from malignant disease. Previous radiation exposure should increase the level of suspicion for malignancy.
