A member asked:
Is it true that all hypoechoic nodules w/ fatty hilum are benign, or is there a possibility of malignancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, less suspicious of malignancy when fatty hilum is preserved but we also base of some other criteria such as size, shape, margin, etc. We can not rely on just preserved fatty hilum. Good luck.
