Abstract
The next level in thyroid disease management is the use of first hand surgeon performed sonography. Given the fact that many of the cases with thyroid carcinoma are referred to Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) departments, this diagnostic imaging modality should be available on site. We present a case series with thyroid pathology that benefited from sonography performed first hand by the ENT surgeon in a tertiary teaching hospital. Thyroid pathology is varied from benign cysts to papillary and medullar carcinomas. Further data are necessary for establishing the learning curve for this exam used by ENT surgeons. The foreseeable advantages are faster protocol in oncology cases, cost efficiency and wide scale availability of thyroid ultrasonography.
