No previous study has investigated the computed tomography (CT) characteristics of follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC).
This study aimed
to compare the CT features of FTA and FTC. Eighty-seven consecutive
patients with FTA or FTC that underwent preoperative neck CT from January
2006 to December 2013 were included.
In each case,
single radiologist retrospectively examined the corresponding neck CT under
blinded conditions for the histopathological results. The CT features of FTA
and FTC were evaluated, as well as the specific CT features for differentiating
FTC from FTA.
