Duh- I mean hope the FNA is soon. Sorry!
hypoechoic (less echogenic than the surrounding tissue). This is the definition I found in Wikipedia.
Here is a link to Thyroid Manager on nodules and ultrasound.

Hope this helps.
When is the FNA?
Thanks Kitty for your comments...but infact this was my ultrasound report that I posted in here.
what does the hypoechoic lesion ...still lost !!
Most thyroid nodules are NOT cancer.Thyroid cancer is highly curable.
I have nodules just under 1 cm, and the endos will biopsy them if they are >1 cm. That is probabably why you will have FNA (biopsy).
Hypochoeic lesions are common. That's what mine are. My doctors say it is common in Hashimoto's.
Don't freak out! Hopefully, you have the ultrasound scheduled soon so you can get an answer and stop worrying so much.
