Findings: There are 2 solid nodules in mid and lower poles of right lobe of thyroid gland. Nodule in mid-pole measure 0.6x0.5x0.3cm showing some small calcification within. Nodule in lower pole measures 0.6cm. Nodule in right side of isthmus is again demonstrated and measure 0.8x0.7x0.5cm. 6 small sold nodules or complicated cysts are present in the mid and lower poles of left lobe of thyroid gland which range from 0.2 to 0.5 cm in size. No dominant lesion is evident.
Comment: Palpable module in the right side of the isthmus. Smaller sub-centimetre nodules in mid and lower piles of both the right and left lobes of the thyroid gland are essentially unchanged in size and appearance. No new lesion is seen.
Dear Doctor,
Appreciate if you could advice if those nodules are benign or malignant. Are they worrisome or no attention is required? What would you recommend? Many thanks.
