Good signs: Circumscribed lesion on thyroid ultrasound means that the lesson is encapsulated and that this is a good sign . Heterogenous mean that the lesion has various areas of increased and decreased density and that is also a good sign . however follicular lesions are indeterminant and could be malignant .
