The ultrasonographic characteristics of thyroid papillary carcinoma with and without hashimoto's thyroiditis were compared and analyzed to explore the effect of hashimoto's thyroiditis on ultrasonographic characteristics of thyroid papillary carcinoma, in order to improve the accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis. Method 91 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma confirmed by surgical resection and pathological biopsy in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from September 2018 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Result The maximum diameter, blood flow grade and lymph node metastasis rate of papillary thyroid carcinoma in hashimoto's thyroiditis group were significantly higher than those in non-hashimoto thyroiditis group (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the growth pattern, hardness and Ratio of papillary thyroid carcinoma among the three subgroups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Under different functional states, thyroid papillary carcinoma combined with hashimoto's thyroiditis showed differences in the growth pattern, hardness, blood grade and other sonographic characteristics.
