Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What does these ultrasound results mean. And what is a nausea mass associated with the thyroid. THYROID ULTRASOUND: Right lobe of the thyroid measures 5.8 X 1.7 X 2 cm in size with normal vascular flow and no masses. The left lobe of the thyroid measures 4.7 X 1.5 X 2 cm in size with normal vascular flow and nausea masses identified. There is homogeneous consistency of each lobe of the thyroid. The thyroid isthmus is 3 mm. In the area of concern there is a soft tissue nodule that measures 7 X 6 X 3 mm in size in the left cervical region. It is probably a slightly enlarged lymph node. It is not associated with the thyroid gland. IMPRESSION: 1) Thyroid gland upper limits of normal in size with no thyroid masses or nodules identified. 2) Small 7 X 6 X 3 mm nodule in the anterior left cervical region is probably a left lymph node. This is not particularly well identified in relation to the other structures in the area. 3) CT scan of the neck might be a worthwhile additional test.
Hello and welcome to HCM, The ultrasound of neck shows presence of lymph nodes. The thyroid gland is of normal size. An aspiration cytology of these lymph nodes needs to be done to know the cause of enlarged lymph nodes. Lymph node enlarged can occur due to infection, inflammation or neoplastic condition.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
