43-year-old female with abnormal thyroid function. History of nodules. RIGHT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 6.5 x 2.1 x 1.3 cmLEFT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 6.2 x 2.6 x 1.5 cmISTHMUS MEASUREMENTS: 0.4 cmRIGHT LOBE: Spongiform nodule in the right lobe adjacent to the isthmus measuring 0.3 x 0.6 x 0.6 cm without change.There is a second, hypoechoic and poorly defined nodule in the lower pole measuring 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.6 cm. This is also unchanged from prior studyLEFT LOBE: Within the midportion of the left lobe there are 3 small spongiform nodules. Previously measured nodule is unchanged measuring 0.4 x 0.5 x 0.8 cm. In the lower pole there is a somewhat spongiform-appearing nodule which has been previously biopsied measuring 0.8 by 1.3 x 1 cm, decreased in size in the interim. The second, more medially placed partly cystic, partly solid nodule as described on the prior study appears changed in morphology on today's exam, being hypoechoic and poorly defined. This measures approximately 1 x 1.1 x 1.8 cm.ISTHMUS: Small spongiform nodule identifiedPARATHYROID GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.LYMPH NODES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
Bilateral thyroid nodules. The majority of these are little changed in the interim many with a benign appearance. However, a nodule on the left has changed in appearance on today's exam, and biopsy may be indicated.
