What is Follicullar thyroid parenchyma and lymphiod tissue means?



COMMENT: The  biopsy shows follicullar thyroid parenchyma which is devoid of a lymphocytic infiltrate.The lymphoid tissue present with in the biopsy is seperate from thyroid parenchyma. It is possible that the nodule in the thyroid is a  follicullar lesion and in the process of biopsy, a portion of lymp node was obtained. A lymphiod lesion with in the thyroid cannot be excluded. If clinically indicated, an additional diagnostic efforts are recommended.

Can somebody pls. explain what this mean? I would really appreciate it and also my ENT recommended to do a right thyroid lobectomy after my baby is born.  I'm planning to get a second opinion but I want to find a ENDO or a Thyroidologist this time.

Follicullar thyroid parenchyma is the functional thyroid tissue;lymphoid tissue is tissue from lymph node; it is possible that the needle struck the lymph node and dragged content into the thyroid tissue which was aspirated.
