what does it mean heterogeneous signal in the thyroid gland and a left lobe nodule meawsuring approximately 6mm.
This is an ultrasound report that is saying that the thyroid that was scanned has a solid nodule that is just a little under 1/2 inch in diameter and doesn't show up as well compared to the surrounding tissue..
Goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. Nodules are growths that lead to the enlargements. Multinodular means that there are many nodules. Heterogeneous means that there is no pattern to the nodules. it is a benign condition.
it means: nodule-a rounded lump or knot; heterogeneous means "composed of unlike parts. Therefore a rounded lump composed of dissimilar tissues on the thyroid (gland) located in the base of throat region. may or may not require medical attention.
hi i had a heterogeneous solid nodule with a maximal dimension of 15mm and 2 small nodules of 2 mm and 8 mm at the upper and lower poles.
it means: nodule-a rounded lump or knot; heterogeneous means "composed of unlike parts. Therefore a rounded lump composed of dissimilar tissues on the thyroid (gland) located in the base of throat region. may or may not require medical attention.
Only a doctor can order the tests to determine if any thyroid nodule is dangerous. A thyroid uptake scan will help your doctor determine if your thyroid is hot (active) or cold (inactive).
A heterogenous thyroid nodule can't be "fixed", but it can be treated or removed if it is causing a problem. Not all nodules need treatment. There are multiple types and causes of nodules. The treatment (if needed) is based entirely upon the reason for the nodule however, and seeing an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid care is important to an appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
There's blood supply inside of it not just leading to it
A thyroid nodule is simply a mass in your thyroid. Hyperechoic is a term used in ultrasound which determines how bright or dark the nodule is. Ultrasound is all black, white, and gray scales, so a hyperechoic nodule would be a mass in the thyroid that is BRIGHTER than the rest of the thyroid tissue.
A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged. Meanwhile, a thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland.
It is a mistake. The isthmus of the thyroid gland is a thin bridge across the trachea, linking the right and left lobes. It occasionally also gives rise to the pyramidal lobe, a normal variant of thyroid anatomy. The adjectival form of isthmus is isthmic, so a nodule in the thyroid isthmus is an isthmic nodule, not an isthmal nodule.
