No enlarged cervical lymph nodes or neck mass are present. Heterogeneous thyroid, non specific, but suggestive of diffuse thyroid disease. .

Hello,
This result shows the size of your thyroid gland is normal, but its structure looks like there is some inflammation.
In my practice, I would look at this result with your thyroid function blood test results. If those are normal, no treatment would be needed at this time.
Any abnormality in these would make me refer you to an endocrinologist (thyroid doctor).
All the best.
