A case report of diagnosis of liver metastasis of medullary thyroid carcinoma by multimodal ultrasound

Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a rare malignant neuroendocrine tumor. Distant metastasis is difficult to detect early. It is most common in lung, liver, bone and brain. This case was reported as liver metastasis of medullary thyroid carcinoma in an elderly woman, but routine ultrasound findings were...

description Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a rare malignant neuroendocrine tumor. Distant metastasis is difficult to detect early. It is most common in lung, liver, bone and brain. This case was reported as liver metastasis of medullary thyroid carcinoma in an elderly woman, but routine ultrasound findings were atypical. After a series of relevant imaging examinations, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy were used to confirm the nature of the intrahepatic lesions. Therefore, we believe that multimodal ultrasound is of great value in the diagnosis of liver metastasis of medullary thyroid carcinoma.
