“…Macro calcification or coarse calcifications are related to fibrosis and degeneration (Wang et al, 2006). Benign nodules have coarse calcifications, especially with long disease duration (Komolafe et al, 1981;Kuma et al, 1992;Vinayak S et al 2012). In this study, the overall sensitivity of thyroid US for depicting a malignant nodule is reported as 82%.…”

“…Khoo et al [9] showed that 91.7% of benign nodules for which patients underwent surgery were multinodular goiters. The incidence of calcification increased with the duration of the presence of the goiter [7,8,18,19]. Such calcifications have a low risk of malignancy [20].…”

“…1,2 There are various patterns of calcification, including rim calcification, coarse dense calcifications, and microcalcifications. 1,3,4 The presence of microcalcifications is known to be highly suggestive of malignancy, but the clinical significance of other types of calcification is not yet clear. 1,[5][6][7][8][9] US is the first-line imaging modality for thyroid diseases.…”
