Variable: Mean length of the thyroid in adults is 40-60 mm and mean dimension from front to back is 13-18 mm. Your gland may be a little enlarged. Information about size and texture of the thyroid on ultrasound needs to be correlated with thyroid function and whether a mass is suspected. Knowing size alone is of limited value.
