Value of high-resolution ultrasonography in differential diagnosis of cervical cystic lesions / 中华肿瘤杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze ultrasonographic features of the different kinds of cervical cystic lesions, and propose differential diagnostic standard for these lesions based on the evidence of high resolution ultrasonography.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 107 patients with different kinds of cervical cystic lesions were analyzed. The role of gray scale and colour Doppler sonography for such lesions was prospectively studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The rate of accuracy for benign cervical cystic lesions was 91.1% (92/101), however, it was only 16.7% (1/6) for malignant cervical cystic lesions.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>High-resolution ultrasonography is effective and simple in differential diagnosis of different kinds of cervical cystic lesions, especially for benign ones.</p>
