Jugular Vein Invasion Diagnosis and Prognosis in Thyroid Carcinomas

Pierre Yves Marcy et al. Pol J Radiol. .

Abstract

Diagnosis of venous jugular invasion by means of traditional imaging is very rarely reported in the literature. Doppler ultrasound definitively helps to diagnose the tumor thrombus, the extent, and helps in redefining the TNM stage of such an aggressive thyroid tumor.

Keywords: Neoplasm Recurrence, Local; Thyroid Neoplasms; Venous Thrombosis.
