27 cysts/nodules
by PeggyS512, Sep 23, 2008 01:48PM
Hello. I am new and hope someone can help me.
I had an thyroid ultrasound last week and they found 27 cysts/nodules.
That seems like a lot to me, but I can't find information.
Is that 'normal'? What can cause this?
14 cysts
6 complex cysts
1 complex cyst with microcalcifications
3 complex nodules
1 isoechoic nodule
1 isoechoic nodule with microcalcifications
1 complex nodule with calcifications measuring 1.45 x .71 x 1.38 cm
Thyroid hormones are 'within range' - but always at the very bottom of range
(TSH = .7, T4 free = .94, T3 free = 76.4 ).
I am having a FNB on Thursday.

But I do have an immune system disorder and my body does not
even make the antibodies that it should. Antibodies and Autoantibodies are all low.

This can be confirmed if cysts are containing colloid.
In addition 5 % of Hashi patients do not have elvated TPO/TG antibodies.
Thank you.
