Abstract:Cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) is a risk factor for recurrence and distant metastasis. Preoperative diagnosis has a very significant impact on surgical type. Conventional ultrasound has a certain advantage in assessing cervical lymph node metastasis with high specificity, but the sensitivity is relatively low, especially on central compartment lymph node metastasis. PTC nodule characteristics of conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and ultrasonic elastography may serve as a useful tool to predict cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC.
