What Does this thyroid Ultrasound Test Result Mean?
PROCEDURE: THYROID - ULTRASOUND CLINICAL: ENLARGED THYROID TECHNIQUE: THYROID ULTRASOUND COMPARISON: 05/09/2013. FINDINGS: The right lobe of the thyroid measures 5.3 x 2.2 x 1.6 cm and the left lobe of the thyroid measures 5.8 x 2.00 x 1.3 cm. The isthmus measures 5.8 mm. The thyroid gland is diffusely in long. The thyroidal echotexture is engaged diffusely heterogeneous. Normal and symmetric thyroidal blood flow was demonstrated. Secondary to the diffuse heterogeneous appearance of the thyroid gland it is difficult to evaluate for a small focal lesion. IMPRESSION: Stable diffusely enlarged and heterogeneous thyroid gland could represent Hashimoto s thyroiditis. Could this mean cancer?

Hi
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a non-cancerous (benign) disease of the thyroid gland with which one can have a normal healthy life if managed properly. It needs a lifelong treatment & it is hereditary.
Thank you
