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.
Sir/Madam recently i have under gone USG of NECK and the results shows as Lymph node (approx 1.5 cm) noted near left submandubular region, and the thyroid gland is lower limit of normal in size with normal echotexture, tiny hypoechoic nodule (approx 2.6mm) noted in right lobe and adjacent major blood vessels show luminal filling.. and thyroid test (T3,T4 and TSH) are normal.. sir is these critical please suggest
I would explain that as long as your thyroid hormone levels are normal, there is nothing to worry about your thyroid gland. Anyway, considering the nodule, which could be a cyst, I would recommend performing a scintigraphy of the thyroid gland. The lymph node near the left submandibular region could be a possible inflammatory lymph node. But, I recommend checking inflammation tests ( complete blood count, PCR, ESR) and follow up with a new ultrasound after a month. If it persists, a needle biopsy would be needed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
