Female patient aged 42 years presented with left lobe nodule. Ultrasound features of the nodule A: The left lobe shows a solid hypoechoic nodule, taller more than wider with well-defined outline. Micro calcifications are seen inside. TIRADS categorization: TIRADS (5). On elastography color map B: the entire nodule is evenly shaded blue. Elastography score: (4) Strain ratio = 5.49. MRI study: T2 weighted images C: left lobe nodule is seen showing mixed high and intermediate signal intensities. Diffusion weighted images D: areas of high signal intensity is seen within the nodule. ADC mapping E: it shows low signal with ADC value = 0.7 × 10−3. Pathology: follicular thyroid carcinoma
