I was told the same thing today and I can't find anything on the internet about what grainy texture of the thyriod gland as seen via an ultrasound mean. Can anyone help?
A normal study would reveal a thyroid gland of normal size, shape, position, and uniform texture.
dysphagia or difficulty swallowing
What is Hypoechoic to Isoechoic Nodule
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 homogeneous echotexture of the uterus means that the uterus is perfectly fine. It means there are no tumors, abnormalities, and that it is smooth in appearance.
This means they found a mass of skin on your ultrasound. Your uterus can sometimes grow masses. They can also grow cancers.
An enlarged thyroid could mean a number of things. The actual term means that the thyroid gland, which controls most hormones in your body, has been enlarged. This could mean the possibility of thyroid disease, or possibly even thyroid cancer.
"The thyroid parenchyma" is the main part of your thyroid gland. "Diffusely and markedly heterogeneous" means it's lumpy all over. Talk with your health care provider about what this means for your care, as you need to combine this imaging finding with the results of your history, physical exam, and lab work to assign any meaning.
