58-year-old female patient with hyperparathyroidism. Please assess for thyroid nodules. RIGHT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 3.9 x 1.1 x 1.3 cm.LEFT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 3.0 x 0.9 x 0.8 cm.ISTHMUS MEASUREMENTS: 2 mm in thickness.RIGHT LOBE: The right thyroid lobe is homogeneous in echogenicity. No dominant thyroid nodule is identified.LEFT LOBE: The left thyroid lobe is homogeneous in echogenicity. No dominant thyroid nodule is identified.ISTHMUS: No significant abnormality noted.PARATHYROID GLANDS: There is a hypoechoic structure measuring 0.9 x 0.6 x 1.4 cm in the midline superior mediastinum/supraclavicular region which may correlate to findings on concomitant nuclear medicine scan.LYMPH NODES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
Hypoechoic structure within the superior mediastinum/supraclavicular region may correlate to a focus of uptake on concomitant nuclear medicine scan and represent a parathyroid adenoma.
