A member asked:

Help understanding us impression: 1. diffusely inhomogeneous echogenicity of both thyroid lobes, which are hypervascular. correlate clinically for thyroiditis. 2. round, hyperechoic vascular nodules in both thyroid lobes, subcentimeter in size?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroiditis on US: The findings of increased vascularity and irregular (inhomongenous) pattern are characteristics of Hashimoto's thyroiditis which is an autoimmune disorder causing underactive thyroid function. The 2 tiny solid nodules most likely are benign. A thyroidologist or endocrinologist can advise you best.
