A member asked:

Mild enlargement of the right thyroid lobe without discrete nodules. there is a homogeneous appearance to the echotexture of the thyroid gland. ????

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lobe enlarged: This should be of no significance if your thyroid hormone levels are all normal. There are no suspicious findings of benign or malignant growths. If you have further concerns a thyroidologist or endocrinologist would be best qualified to evaluate and advise you.
