Objective To explore the correlation between high-frequency ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging features and pathology in thyroid squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The US manifestations and histopathological features of 1 case of patient with thyroid squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by puncture pathology admitted to Dezhou Second People's Hospital on August 8,2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The pathological manifestation was mainly necrotic tissue with nest like arrangement of tumor cells;US presents as a hard,rough edged solid nodule within the thyroid gland,with unclear boundaries adjacent to the trachea;color Doppler flow imaging showed:abundant arterial blood flow signals were observed around the nodule;multiple metastatic lymph nodes were observed in both neck regions simultaneously;ultrasound contrast imaging shows slow wash-in and fast wash-out of high echo genicity compared to normal thyroid tissue. Conclusion US and contrast-enhanced ultrasound have certain characteristics and are closely related to pathological features. The final diagnosis also depends on the pathological results.
