Background and Objectives: Surgical decision-making for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) relies on accurate preoperative staging, where ultrasonography plays a crucial role in predicting outcomes. We aimed to analyze the predictive effects of preoperative sonographic findings on pathological characteristics. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study was performed using ultrasonographic images and clinico-pathologic data of papillary thyroid cancer patients who underwent total thyroidectomy or lobectomy between March 2016 and May 2020. Finally, 152 patients and 169 tumors were analyzed. Results: Mean age of patients was 54.2±14.2 years and the proportion of female was 75.7%. Tumor size was 13.6±10.3 mm and the proportions of extrathyroidal extension (ETE) and lymph node (LN) involvement were 52.2% and 23.0%, respectively. Preoperative sonographic findings, including ETE, tumor margin, echogenicity, and K-TIRDAS, were significantly associated with pathological ETE. Other pathological characteristics, including LN involvement, lymphovascular invasion, and resection margin positivity, were more observed in patients with more aggressive findings on preoperative sonography; however, we could not find statistical significances. Conclusion: This study showed that preoperative sonographic characteristics, such as sonographic ETE, tumor margin, echogenicity, and K-TIRADS, can provide valuable insights into predicting pathological ETE in PTC patients.
