Ct scan result: the thyroid gland appears diffusely heterogeneous with multiple small nodules .. there is a modular and ground consolidation within the right upper lobe can someone tell me what it means?

Nodules: Usually multiple thyroid nodules are benign in contrast to a solitary nodule. I'm not familiar with such a description as noted in the right upper lobe. In this situation the attending physician should sit down with the radiologist and ask him/her what the possible significance of that finding is, what, if any, other testing may be helpful and what specialists, could be consulted for advice.
