Female, 47 years old. Reason: thyroid nodule on left lobe RIGHT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 5.6 x 1.6 x 2.1 cmLEFT LOBE MEASUREMENTS: 5.7 x 1.6 x 2.2 cmISTHMUS MEASUREMENTS: 0.3 cmRIGHT LOBE: Marked diffuse heterogeneity, with decreased vascularity.LEFT LOBE: Marked diffuse heterogeneity, with decreased vascularity. A left lower pole nodule measures 1.9 x 1.2 x 1.6 cm, predominately solid with cystic component and a hypoechoic rim, noncalcified, with peripheral vascularity.ISTHMUS: Marked diffuse heterogeneity, with decreased vascularity.PARATHYROID GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.LYMPH NODES: Nonenlarged cervical lymph nodes are identified. A right level 5 lymph node measures 1.6 x 0.5 x 1.0 cm. A left level 5 lymph node measures 1.8 to 0.4 x 0.8 cm.OTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
1.A 1-2 cm left lower pole thyroid nodule is amenable to biopsy if clinically indicated.2.Marked diffuse heterogeneity of the thyroid gland suggestive of thyroiditis. Hypovascularity of the gland suggests non-active phase of the disease.
