What Do The Findings Of The Thyroid Sonogram Suggest?
I just had a thyroid sonogram..results showed my entire right side&1/2left side were completely heterogeneous. also u could see nodules on both sides. my dr called in his collegues to see..none of them had seen anything like it before. they said theres no boarders to the area of heterogenous tissue. I do have castlemans multicentric macrophage..could this be from it or what could it be? I have multiple conditions that drs have never seen..ex my smc muscle is thickening&chest wall calcifying..due to rarity of illness i have i always hear they dont know. schdld for fnb in a wk..do they hurt? i can find answers bout nodules..but mines entire gland itself.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, I actually and mostly take the clinical sing and symptoms into consideration, here in your case if I would be your doctor then I would correlate this report of yours with your clinical conditions, and ideally this is the rule, if patient is symptomatic and investigative reports suggesting something then this has to be watch for further changes, more over differential diagnosis also need to be considered, I think this is nothing to worry about this, heterogeneous echogenicity is not the direct indication of any obvious pathology, I hope you could understand this, have good time.
