{"title":"Role of Ultrasound in Pretreatment Evaluation of Lymph Node Status in Carcinoma Breast: A Systematic Review","authors":"Mayank Bhasin, A. Arora","doi":"10.5005/jp-journals-10088-11176","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5005/jp-journals-10088-11176","url":null,"abstract":"Aim: This systematic review aimed to analyze efficacy of axillary ultrasonography (USG) in differentiating normal from abnormal lymph nodes (LNs) in breast cancer patients, taking into account the different criteria used. Background: Identification of pretreatment axillary LN metastasis is one of the most important prognostic factors in breast cancer, and it affects the surgical plan and oncological management after surgery. Review results: A PubMed search was made using the following items: “Ultrasonography” [Mesh] AND “Axilla” [Mesh] AND “Breast Neoplasms” [Mesh]. A total of 34 studies were included in the review analysis. Studies were divided according to the LN feature studied into six subheadings which include size, cortex thickness, hilum changes, long axis-to-short axis ratio (L/S ratio), combination of multiple morphological factors, and combination of both morphology and size. For LN size, sensitivity and specificity ranged from 49 to 95%, 34 to 97.4%; cortical thickness 35 to 96%, 36 to 92%; hilar changes 24 to 92%, 23 to 100%; L/S ratio 65 to 100%, 18 to 65%; morphological features 26 to 94%, 76 to 100%; and combination of both morphological and size 18 to 100%, 50 to 100%, respectively. Conclusion: Role of USG in pretreatment axillary staging has been extensively studied. Various diagnostic criteria have been used for defining abnormal LN, which leads to difficult comparisons between various studies. Clinical significance: Pretreatment evaluation of axilla with USG, using multiple criteria, like LN size, L/S ratio, cortical, and hilar abnormalities in combination with morphological features, gave the best accuracy for detection of abnormal nodes and lowest false-negative rates in breast cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":135260,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Endocrine Surgery and Research","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132845395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, a fairly good number of asymptomatic and incidentally detected cases of PHPT who could have been missed otherwise are now being evaluated and treated successfully. Although this turn around is more pronounced in the West, the scenario has not appreciably changed in India. Lack of awareness and clinical suspicion among the clinicians and negligible use of biochemical screening tests are the common factors responsible for the diagnostic delay as is evident in our case report. Such delay in diagnosis and institution of treatment results in overtly symptomatic disease with affection of several target organs. We report the diagnostic dilemma and delay in treatment in one of our cases; a 28-year-old female who despite having severe PHPT at the time of diagnosis could be managed successfully with parathyroidectomy.","PeriodicalId":135260,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Endocrine Surgery and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117298233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rarely, the metastatic lesion is the only finding at the time of presentation (as in our case) leading to a diagnostic dilemma. We report an occult metastatic FTC case of a 68-year-old man who underwent excision of a rib tumor 10 years back. The histopathology confirmed the metastatic thyroid carcinoma but clinicoradiological evaluation did not reveal any thyroid nodule. He did not undergo a total thyroidectomy at that time. Now, he presented with pulsatile scalp swelling for 6 months. On examination, he was found to have a solitary thyroid nodule also. Fine needle aspiration cytology from scalp swelling and thyroid nodule demonstrated thyroid cells and follicular neoplasm, respectively, establishing the diagnosis of metastatic follicular thyroid cancer. The radioactive iodine (RAI) is given after total thyroidectomy. Total thyroidectomy followed by RAI is indicated even in cases of occult metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma.","PeriodicalId":135260,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Endocrine Surgery and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129609620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The family treated by us included the index case of MEN2A who underwent bilateral adrenalectomy and total thyroidectomy with central compartment neck dissection, his father with MTC treated with thyroid surgery and brother with a solitary nodule thyroid under evaluation. Father succumbed to the disease 8 months later. Surgery is the primary treatment in MTC with genetic testing, contributing to early diagnosis and treatment. MTC with MEN2A is a rare entity, with our case presenting in the third decade with no metastases. Diagnosis of MEN2A involves the complex biochemical workup followed by adrenal surgery before thyroidectomy. A poor understanding would lead to major catastrophe.
