Tiroid nodulü olarak yanlış tanı alan faringoözefageal divertikül olgusunun ultrasonografik özellikleri: Olgu sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Abstract

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