Quite frankly, I've never heard a thyroid referred to as "bulky", so the only thing I can think of that possibly there is inflammation causing that lobe to be swollen and inflamed looking.  Perhaps it's indicative of a thyroiditis, but I can't say that for sure.

Isoechoic means the sound waves are equal to those of the surrounding tissue.

Is there a conclusion or "impression" at the end of the report? Those, typically, give an idea of what the radiologist recommends for follow-up...

Aside from that, do you have a diagnosed thyroid condition?  If so, what condition?

What prompted the ultrasound?
