Enlarged thyroid with multiple confluent nodules suggests benign nodular goiter but it is recommended to have FNA biospy to confirm this. Hyperechoic is usually a benign feature. Hypoechoic interior usually would refer to cystic degeneration (benign) in this context.
Thank-you for the clarification.
Palpable nodules are usually harder then the thyroid tissue so they can be found by neck palpation.
Thank-you very much for your very prompt response. An FNA session is scheduled for me for this Wednesday. I assume they will need to take sufficient samples from each of the nodules. Could you also illuminate me regarding the difference between palpable and non-plapable nodules?
Since I been suffering on an off from migraine-like headaches, an open MRI has also been arranged..
