Summary

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for diagnosing and staging primary thyroid lymphomas, guiding treatment and prognosis. Ultrasound and CT have limitations in detecting extrathyroidal spread, impacting patient survival.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary thyroid lymphomas are rare malignancies.
  • Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for effective treatment and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different radiologic modalities in diagnosing and staging primary thyroid lymphomas.
  • To assess the prognostic value of extrathyroidal tumor spread.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of imaging (MRI, CT, US) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy findings in 14 patients.
  • Correlation of survival with extrathyroidal spread.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound detected lymphomas in all patients; CT and MRI in 86%.

  • MRI accurately identified extrathyroidal involvement (lymph nodes, muscle, esophagus, vessels), surpassing CT and US.
  • Extrathyroidal spread significantly correlated with poorer survival (p < 0.05).

    • Conclusions:

    • Palpable masses require palpation-guided FNA; nonpalpable masses benefit from US-guided FNA.
    • MRI is the preferred modality for determining tumor extent and staging.
    • Accurate staging with MRI aids in therapy selection and prognosis prediction.
