ok first of all the only reason i am thinking about this is because i
have a 2 almost 3 year old son who is my world and I his anyway my dr
feels i may need a Thyroidectomy.my gortier feels large to me such as
some slight breathing problems constent cough raspy sound to my voice
and of course the thyroid pain a endo told me wasnt there that i had
a sore throat LOL i think i should know the difference there anyway i
dont have any blood work to show you but i do have the results from
my thyroid U/S so i thought id post it and see what you all thought
about this and what you all would do for yourselves and to see if
there is anyone in here who has had the surgery and can tell me about
the pain and recovery?





clinical indication:goiter

full result:the right love measures 5.5x1.9x2.3 cm it is
inhomogrnous
in its echogenicity with no dominate nodule seen there is increased
vascularity

the left lobe measures 5x2.1x2.2 cm this is inhomogenous in its
echogenicity and shows increased vascularity a dominate nodule is
not
identified however it does appear multinodular
the isthmus measures 2.9mm

IMPRESSION FINDING SUGGEST MULTINODILAR GOITAR CLOSE CORRELATION TO
PHYSICAL EXAM TO SEE IF THERE IS A DOMIINATE PALPABLE LESION AS
WELL
AS PERHAPS CORRELATION WITH A RADIONUCLIDE STUDY AND HORMONE
FUNCTION
TEST
IS RECOMMENDED




ADENDUM there is a hypoechoic noduale seen in the right lobe mid
portion it looks tall and is actually anterior so this may be
palpable there is a 7 mm not well seen on the lateral view but i
believe it should be evaluated clinically to see if there is a
palpable abnormality and this would be in the mid pole region
anterior this should be evaluated clinically as well as with
tadionuclide studdy or surgery





the TALL HYPOECHOIC NODUALE is what worries me the most about this
I would be greatful for any information you all could give me on it



THANK YOU
