Abstract
With two ultrasonographic and two CT films of three cases of thyroid tuberc ulosis, we evaluate the ultrasonographic and CT findings and correlate them with the pathologic findings. They are demonstrated as heterogeneous hypoe choic mass on ultrasonogram and peripheral-enhancing low-density abscess on CT scan with regional lymphadenopathy. Ultrasonography (US) and CT can hel p the diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
