Question 1

12x10x9mm heterogeneous nodule isoechoic

what is that?

Accepted Answer

A growth: I assume this is a thyroid nodule which basically mean you have a growth on the thyroid.  It's very common and not a cause for concern as long as you follow it again in the future to make sure if it's not growing.  Biopsy of the nodule will help determine if it's benign or cancerous.  The risk of cancer is very low, approx 5%.

Question 2

2.5mm heterogeneous hypoechoic nodule and ovoid isoechoic bilobed mass with hypoechoicc band through it which may be fluid.the mass measures 22mm long?

Accepted Answer

It would help: to know what organ we are talking about. In the breast these findings have one meaning, in the liver another. So it would be very helpful to know where we are going

Question 3

within the endometrial cavity there is a
heterogeneous isoechoic mass identified measuring approximately 1.4 cm in largest diameter.  is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: At your age, I would repeat the ultrasound after your next cycle.

Question 4

what is a innocuous and isoechoic thyroid nodule.

also what is a heterogenous nodule with tiny cystic spaces, it measures 0.7cm?

Accepted Answer

Probably benign: Depends on the appearance on ultrasound and also on lab and clinical parameters. Usually don't biopsy this size lesion without some other indication that there's a problem, but it should definitely be followed-up over time with repeat exams.

Question 5

my 12 yo's thyroid sono came back w/3 nodule- each >1cm: 1)slightly hypoechoic heterogeneous, 2)heterogeneously isoechoic w/internal vascularity 3) hetergenously hypoechoic w/in gland.  how bad is it?

Accepted Answer

Needs biopsy: An endocrinologist needs to be involved in the care of your son.  Depending on the appearance of these nodules, they may want to biopsy them with a fine needle.  Most nodules are benign, but it is important to make sure it is not a cancer.

Question 6

is it poss. cancer? us results thyroid nodule:  solid, heterogeneous &  isoechoic nodule w/in the mid to lower right lobe, 4.2cm, increas. vascularity

Accepted Answer

Suspicious: You should be guided by an endocrinologist as to further testing which will include a fna biopsy. Sometimes it is just best to remove a solid nodule of this large size.

Question 7

is a heterogeneous myometrium abnormal?

Accepted Answer

: Your question is unclear. What do you mean by heterogeneous myometrium? By some measures, normal myometrium is heterogeneous due to criss-crossing of muscle fibres.

Question 8

what exactly does it mean to have a heterogenous area on your cyst?

Accepted Answer

See below: This depends on what cyst and in what organ. Usually, though, a heterogenous area in a cyst may mean a solid nodule component, an area of debris containing proteinaceous or hemorrhagic materials, or septations. This is a nonspecific description and more information would be helpful.

Question 9

what does it mean to have a myometrium is heterogeneous demonstrates without a focal lesion?

Accepted Answer

Heterogeneous: Heterogeneous myometrium means that the texture of the myometrium is not the same across the length of it. It is probably OK if no discrete lesion is seen. If there are symptoms that cannot be explained by it, it may be reasonable to have a follow up ultrasound in 3 months to see if there has been a change in the appearance.

Question 10

what does  supraspinatous: appears thickened and heterogenous with enthesopathic changes at the footprint mean?

Accepted Answer

: You have thickening and scar formation within the supraspinatous tendon at its insertion most likely reflects present or previous inflammation and possible tendon injury
