“…The differential diagnosis of thyroid papillary cancer metastasis as a rare cause should be kept in mind before these interventions are applied to these patients. One study reported that microcalcification and cystic degeneration in cervical lymph nodes are highly suggestive of metastases [8]. In our case, the presence of cystic degeneration and micro-macrocalcifications arose suspicion that the mass could be malignant.…”

“…The absence of US abnormalities was defined when no lymph nodes with any of the following findings were detected: (i) microcalcification, (ii) cystic degeneration, (iii) peripheral hypervascularization, and (iv) absence of a hilum with a long axis/short axis ratio < 2 and no vascularized nodule in the thyroid bed [9, 10]. US/Doppler was performed by a radiologist experienced in thyroid imaging.…”
