Hello dr,what does bosselated thyroid gland mean?, thanks for cooperation
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bosselated thyroid: This term refers to the texture of the gland and it means the surface of the gland feels like chicken skin with tiny lumps. I'll have to admit I haven't felt many bosselated glands but they usually occur in persons with thyroid atrophy from age or disease.
