When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. The Mayo Clinic says it's not clear why a thyroid adenoma occurs but it is a type of growth that isn't cancerous. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.

A 1.3 cm lower pole right renal cyst refers to a fluid-filled sac located in the lower part of the right kidney, measuring 1.3 centimeters in diameter. Renal cysts are often benign and commonly found incidentally during imaging studies. Typically, if the cyst is simple (thin-walled and without internal structures), it usually does not require treatment unless it causes symptoms. However, any changes or concerns should be evaluated by a healthcare professional for appropriate management.

What is an upper pole cyst?

An upper pole cyst is a type of renal cyst located at the upper pole of the kidney. These cysts are often simple, meaning they are fluid-filled sacs that typically do not cause symptoms or complications. They are usually discovered incidentally during imaging studies for unrelated conditions. While most upper pole cysts are benign, monitoring may be recommended to ensure they do not change in size or become problematic.

A 2.6 cm incidental lower pole renal cyst is generally not considered bad, especially since it has only increased slightly in size from 2.4 cm. Most renal cysts are benign and do not cause symptoms or require treatment. However, it's important to monitor any changes over time, so discussing the findings with a healthcare provider for appropriate follow-up is advisable.

What does poorly defined heterogeneous includes isoechoic and cystic areas nodule in left with only small amount of normal tissue in upper pole mean?

This means that there is a nodular growth in the left thyroid gland that appears mixed, with areas of similar echogenicity to the surrounding tissue, as well as cystic areas. The presence of only a small amount of normal tissue in the upper pole suggests that the nodule is relatively large and may be compressing or displacing normal thyroid tissue. Further evaluation or testing may be needed to determine the nature of the nodule and its potential impact on thyroid function.
