PURPOSE: Shear wave elastography (SWE) was described as valuable tool in the diagnostics of distinct types of thyroid lesions, thyroiditis and several other non-thyroidal conditions, such as liver inflammation and fibrosis or diagnostics of breast lesions. The aim of the current study was to assess the appearance of parathyroid adenomas in SWE and to check prospectively if SWE can be valuable additional tool in the diagnostics of pathologically enlarged parathyroids.
METHODS: Patients with parathyroid adenomas confirmed by histopathology were included. Subjects with benign thyroid lesions were enrolled to the control group. Elasticity of parathyroid adenomas and benign thyroid nodules was measured and compared.
RESULTS: Sixty five patients with parathyroid adenomas and 35 patients with 51 benign thyroid nodules were included. Parathyroid adenomas where significantly more elastic than benign thyroid nodules-mean elasticity of the lesion was 5.2 ± 7.2 vs. 24.3 ± 33.8 kPa, respectively. Relative mean elasticity (in comparison with surrounding thyroid tissue) was 0.30 ± 0.36 and 2.8 ± 3.9, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: SWE can be useful tool in the diagnostics of parathyroid adenomas. Enlarged parathyroids are significantly more elastic than benign thyroid lesions. Low elasticity of the lesion constitutes feature with high negative prognostic value, allowing for reliable exclusion of suspicion of parathyroid adenomas.
