It is best to ask your doctor a question like this, as the meaning may be different for different medical circumstances.

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.
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 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.
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..
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.
A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Nodules can be caused by a simple overgrowth of normal thyroid tissue, fluid-filled cysts, inflammation, or a tumor. When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.
What is Hypoechoic to Isoechoic Nodule
Thyroid nodules are often referred to as *cold* or *hot*. A cold nodule is not producing hormones. A hot nodule is producing hormones - usually too much.
An angiolipoma is a subcutaneous nodule with vascular structure.
