Nodules were found on my thyroid simply by chance. I was able to access the results via my health insurances website and am awaiting my primary care physician's call as to her thoughts on the results. In the meantime I'm wondering the the next step(s) might be. Here are the results given:
Ultrasound of the thyroid gland: The architecture of both lobes
of the thyroid gland is slightly inhomogeneous irregular which
could represent early multinodular goiter; an oval 1.5 cm
inhomogeneous nodule is seen posterior mid right lobe. Several
small nonspecific calcifications are seen in the right lobe which
could be from degeneration, facet inflammation, etc. A 2.2 mm
calcific focus with acoustic shadowing is seen at the anterior
margin lower left lobe. No specific neoplastic pattern; however,
neoplasia at the noted right lobe nodule cannot be excluded.
Radiologic diagnosis:
1. Apparent multinodular goiter as above with nonspecific
calcifications.
