Thyroid nodules and history of Hashimoto's RIGHT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 3.5 x 1.4 x 1.3 cmLEFT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 3.9 x 1.6 x 1.5 cmISTHMUS MEASUREMENTS: 0.3 cmRIGHT LOBE: Increasing heterogeneity in the right lobe. Relatively stable subcentimeter hypoechoic nodules. Reference upper pole nodule measures 0.8 x 0.4 x 0.7 cm, stable. Reference lower pole nodule measures are 1.1 x 0.7 x 0.7, minimally larger.LEFT LOBE: Diffusely and increasingly heterogeneous echotexture with reticular background consistent with chronic thyroiditis. No discrete nodule appreciated.ISTHMUS: Increasingly diffuse heterogeneous echotexture PARATHYROID GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.LYMPH NODES: Regional benign appearing lymph nodesOTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
Thyroid appears increasingly heterogeneous which presumably reflects patient's underlying Hashimoto's thyroiditis. No dominant nodules. Existing reference nodules of been relatively stable with minimal enlargement of one of the reference nodules. These findings were discussed with the patient at the time of the examination.
