A member asked:
Hi does having some hypoechoic lymph nodes and hypoechoic lesion mean cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does not mean it: A hypoechoic mass is a lump which appears relatively darker on an ultrasound scan, because it reflects fewer ultrasound waves. The significance of this finding varies depending on the context.One example of a hypoechoic mass, seen in the thyroid gland, is a benign tumor called a follicular adenoma. Confusingly, follicular adenomas may also appear hyperechoic, so does not mean one way or another
