Background: To explore the effectiveness and accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis and pathological diagnosis of thyroid lesions. Materials and Methods: Seventy patients who presented to our institution with thyroid lesions between January 2021 and March 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent ultrasound and pathological examination. The precision of ultrasonography diagnosis in relation to histological diagnosis of thyroid lesions was compared. Results: There were a total of 70 patients analyzed, with pathological diagnosis revealing 34 cases of malignant and 36 cases of benign thyroid lesions; The ultrasound diagnosis had a 91.43% (64/70) success rate when compared to the pathological diagnosis, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two (P > 0.05). When comparing ultrasound diagnosis to pathological diagnosis results for thyroid cancer categorization, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Thyroid lesions can be accurately diagnosed using ultrasound, and the method shows no statistically significant decrease in sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy when compared to pathological diagnosis (P > 0.05). Conclusion: In clinical practice, ultrasonography can be used to detect benign from malignant thyroid lesions, which has essential reference value for early clinical diagnosis and therapy, and ultrasound diagnosis is as effective and accurate as pathological diagnosis.
Keywords: Thyroid neoplasms, ultrasonography, pathology, diagnostic accuracy.
