Hello everyone,

I had an ultrasound a little over a year ago and I did not know the results until a couple of months ago. I finally got a hold of the report that the doctor did not tell me about. I didn't like how he didn't tell me anything about it other than they were just 2 small cysts.

Here is the report:

ULTRASOUND - Aug 2- US SOFT TISSUE

NECK/THYROID

CLINICAL HISTORY: Enlarged thyroid

gland.

COMMENT:
A thyroid ultrasound was performed

with grayscale and color Doppler

imaging.
Comparison study: There are no

previous studies available for

comparison.

RIGHT:
The right thyroid lobe measures 1.0 cm

APx 1.5 cm transverse x 4.7 cm

sagittally.
There is mildly heterogeneous

echotexture. There is mildly increased

vascularity.

In the midpole of the left lobe, there is a

hypoechoic but solid appearing nodule

which measures 4.6 x 2.3 x 3.1 mm. Small

areas of increased echogenicity at the

periphery of this nodule may represent

microcalcifications, but no definite

calcifications are seen within the

substance of the nodule. There is some

increased vascular flow in the region of

the nodule, bothperipherally and

centrally. A second nodule is seen in the

upper pole of the left lobe, measuring

2.5 x 1.5 x2.8 mm. This is hypoechoic

with a punctate echogenic focus

internally and may represent a colloid

cyst. It is not appreciably

hypervascular. No other discrete

nodules are identified.

ISTHMUS
The isthmus measures 0.2 cm.
There is homogeneous echotexture.

There is normal vascularity.

IMPRESSION:
There are two subcentimeter nodules in

the left thyroid lobe. The larger is in the

midpole and appears solid, with slightly

increased vascularity. There is the

question of some microcalcification at

the periphery, but no definite

calcifications are seen within the

substance of the nodule. There is

slightly increased vascular flow and the

measures up to 4.6mm in diameter. Fiven

the small size, sonographic followup is

suggested. A second nodule in the upper

pole of the left lobe may represent a

colloid cyst and measures up to 2.8 mm

in diameter.
