Can Any Online Doctor Help Me With The Following Results?
Have hx of Hashimotos, recent sonogram found posterior to the left thyroid lobe a 10x9x7 mm rounded lesion with peripheral flow that appears to be external to the thyroid gland which may be parathyroid in origin. There are no definite internal septations, calcification a, or internal flow. Low internal echoes and cannot be excluded. Is this something that can wait for follow up ?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A rounded lesion is suspected in the lobe of thyroid gland.
Further step includes a fine needle aspiration of the lesion under ultrasonographic guidance if the lesion is not palpable.
Presence of Hashimotos disease leads to suspicion of thyroid lesion rather than parathyroid lesion.
However, further tests are required to confirm the diagnosis.
The aspiration of the lesion will tell about the nature and character of the lesion.
Thus, further management can be planned thereafter.
Thanks and take care
