Abstract：Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound in different pathological subtypes of en-capsulated papillary carcinoma(EPC).Methods The data of 22 patients with EPC diagnosed by pathology were selected,and the two-dimensional ultrasound,color Doppler,three-dimensional ultrasound,elastography and ultrasound scores of simple EPC and EPC with ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma were compared and analyzed.Results EPCs showed cystic and solid echogenicity as well as rich blood flow signals with Adler grade Ⅲ being the common grade,whereas coronal convergence sign was less observed.There was no significant difference between the simple EPCs and EPCs with ductal carcinoma in situ or in-vasive carcinoma(P>0.05).Most of the simple EPCs had regular morphology and smooth margins,while most of the EPCs with ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma had irregular morphology and margins.More EPCs with ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma had elastic score of 5 and the majority of their ultrasound scores were≥10,and there was significant differ-ence between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of multimodal ultrasound improves the diagnosis of di-verse pathological subtypes of EPC and contributes to the precision medicine for EPC.
