What does 'heterogeneous thyroid glands bilaterally with diffusely increase vascularity' mean? and also what is a 'hypertrophied parathyroid gland'?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endocrinologist: It means that there is abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland,which has three zones,symmetrically. An enlargement of a parathyroid gland is called hyperplasia. These findings are abnormal and are considered a multiglandular problem which requires the evaluation and treatment advice from an endocrinologist.
