A member asked:

1.5x6x1.1 cm ill defined heterogeneous hypoechoic area internal vascularity no central calcifications on a diffusely heterogeneous lobe. is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The ultrasound: Report should give recommendations on follow up or need for biopsy. Most thyroid findings are benign. When there is doubt, fine needle biopsy is often done as it is easy on the patient and often definitive.
