Abstract:
The ultrasound features in eight cases of metastases to the thyroid are reported. The primary tumours were bronchogenic carcinoma (4 cases), breast carcinoma (2 cases), oesophageal carcinoma (1 case) and carcinoma of the stomach (1 case). In this series, none of the metastases were from malignant melanoma or a renal neoplasm. Malignant cervical lymphadenopathy was seen in four cases, and five patients had evidence of disseminated disease.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
