Ultrasonographic features of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum in a case misdiagnosed as a thyroid nodule: a case report and review of the literature

Tiroid nodulü olarak yanlıfl tanı alan faringoözefageal divertikül olgusunun ultrasonografik özellikleri: Olgu sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesiBafl ve boyun flifllikleri için genellikle ultrasonografi tekniği kullanılır.Faringoözefagael divertikül büyük boyutlara ulafltığında, tiroid bezeyansıyabilir, ultrasonografi sırasında tiroid nodül ile karıfltırılabilir,gereksiz ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisine neden olabilir. Bu çalıflmada, ultrasonda tiroid nodülünü taklit eden faringoözefageal divertikülolgusunu, literatür bilgisi ve ultrasonografik iflaretlerle birlikte sunduk

Tiroid nodulü olarak yanl›fl tan› alan faringoözefageal divertikül olgusunun ultrasonografik özellikleri: Olgu sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Ultrasonography technique is generally used for head and neck lumps.As pharyngoesophageal diverticula reach large sizes, it might projecttoward the thyroid gland which can be confused with thyroid noduleduring thyroid ultrasonography, leading to unnecessary fine needleaspiration biopsy. In this report, we present a case of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum that mimicked thyroid nodule in ultrasonography together with literature knowledge and ultrasonographic signs
