A hypoechoic nodule is a fluid-filled or solid mass that causes weak, limited echoes in comparison to the surrounding tissue during an ultrasound or sonogram. It is most frequently detected in the thyroid, and caused by diet-induced iodine deficiency, autoimmune disorders, radiation exposure and genetics.
