TSH normal, What else could goiter be?
by Star7184, Aug 25, 2005 12:00AM
Hi! I'be posted before about a golf-ball sized goiter I have on the base of my right thyroid lobe. I was finally able to get to my doctor after a cancellation and I was told that what I have is a somewhat soft partial goiter and that I should have the bloodwork and ultrasound done. I had my bloodwork done and it came out normal (TSH=1.07, white blood cells=10.8) and tomorrow I am having an ultrasound. So I have two questions:
1) If it is not a hormonal problem, what else could it be?
2) What should I look out for in the ultrasound?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
