1013194 tn?1296459481 There appears to be slight diffuse increased vascularity seen throughout the thyroid parenchyma when studied on colored dopplers. There is no retrosternal extension or cervical lymphadenopathy. Conclusion... The nature of the described hetrogeneous echogenicity of the thyroid parenchyma is uncertain in the context of only one discrete echogenic nodual. The increased vascularity could reflect underlying thyroiditis. further assesment of the solitary nodual with FNA may be appropriate..
Avatar f tn there are four nodules in the left with largest lying lower pole 9mm there is no retrosternal extension normal vascularity help me understand this what medicine will i have to take thanks
Avatar f tn It measures 1.3cm. The report also said that the thyroid uptake is almost homogeneous with no retrosternal extension of thyroid activity, and that visually the uptake is mildly abnormal and over active. Could you please tell me what that means? The doc was testing for Graves and when I saw her she said that I didn't have Graves but that it is the nodule that is pushing out extra hormones. Here are the results and ranges. TSH .01 Range 0.40 - 3.50 FT4 27.6 Range 9.
Avatar f tn  Duplex study reveals diffuse increased vascularity being more evident at the lower half of the left lobe. Associated with ectatic left middle thyroid artery .Intact carotid sheath. No retrosternal extension. the trachea is central, no enlarged cervical lymph nodes.
4278219 tn?1352105710 Patchy slight excess of lymphoid cells in the background. The appearances would be in keeping with a benign thyroid aspirate. A thyroid antibody screen is recommended to exclude lymphocytic thyroiditis. Diagnosis: Benign aspirate (thy 2) accompanying bloods: TSH - 0.61ml/U/L (0.35-3.5) Serum free trilodothyronine level 5.7pmol/L (3.8-6.0) Serum free T4 level - 16pmol/L (8.0-21.0) Thyroid peroxidase antibody level 10.4 ku/L (00-34.
Avatar f tn Sister with Stage IV (T4bN1M1) rectal CA. Differential dx includes ovarian CA. FHx includes mother - breast CA, maternal aunt - ovarian CA. Ovarian metasteses noted on staging scans. Local extension of primary tumor into ovary, vagina and cervix. What are the means for determining definitively whether or not there is a second primary tumor (that of the ovary). Only one ovary was removed at the time of surgery.
Avatar m tn 22mm) and semi-solid(not purely cystic) component, measures 28.9mmX11.2mmX26.2mm. No retrosternal extension. Increased flow noted. Does not extend tothe submental region. Can someone explain? Is this dangerous?
Avatar f tn MRI scan report is possibility of ca gallbladder with liver invasion and porta hepatis extension with vascular encasement should be considered.
Avatar f tn ) I had one an untrasound on my thyroid last year just before xmas, and it came up with a 2mm nodule. Do nodules cause pain? I read thyroid cancer is rear, so I didnt really give it a second thought. Can they grow, and would I have to have my thyroid removed cause this is def something I dont want to have done. My last thyroid results were on top of the range so Im not sure what would be irritating if it were indeed the nodule.
Avatar f tn Please find a good endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid (so many do not) and checking into the nodules further. Many ENTs are also good with thyroid conditions. Perhaps a needle biopsy is in order. An uptake scan could also be beneficial to see if they are functioning nodules. Many doctors (oncologists included) often thing that thyroid cancers aren't "real" cancers or are of any concern.
799953 tn?1260580655 to these thyroid terms but I have had all the symptoms you mentioned, as far as the muscle aches and spasms, I took advice from the wizards here on this forum and started taking Vitamin D, Magnesium and B Complex and have had a marked improvement in a reduction of the aches and spasms, I still get the tight throat sometimes (Due to Goiter or inflamed thyroid) I have also had) from your results I see it states you do have a Goiter(Inflamed/enlarged) thyroid with nodules, which is fairly common w
1637775 tn?1300841064 Hi everyone....I have a basic question for you but first let me describe my situation. I have been lightheaded/dizzy off an on for over a week now. I'm noticing that I'm normally lightheaded when I'm eating or drinking something. I've also had pain in the middle of my chest....the direct middle....sometimes moving over to the left but normally right in the middle. When i went to the doctors about this two mondays ago they had me checked for every possible heart condition.
Avatar f tn Small papillary growths are identified in the larger tumor. Both tumors show extension into the partially calcified capsule with at least focal extracapsular extension and are located with 1.0mm of inked surgical margins. No transected carcinnoma is identified. Elsewhere the thyroid gland exhibits normal arch. with scattered minimal foci of lympohoid infiltrates. There is a .4cm histologically unremarkable parathryoid gland.
1069633 tn?1255242989 7 cm. Isthmus 28 x 4mm, No retrosternal extension. Lobes are homogeneous in texture. There is a single vascular solid hypoechoic nodule, 2.9x1.9cm, within the lower third of the right lobe extending into the isthmus medially. There are two small nodules seen within the left, a 4mm upper pole nodule and 3mm lower pole nodule. Comment: The right lobe is marginally enlarged.
Avatar f tn A FEW STREAKY AREAS OF POSSIBLE ATELECTISIS SEEN. THERE IS SOME OPACITY IN THE RETROSTERNAL REGION AS WELL AS A FEW ADDITIONAL DENSITIES ELSEWHERE, ANY OF THESE COULD BE RELATED TO SUBTLE PULMONARY NODULES. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE SOME PLURAL THICKENING ALONG THE LATERAL CHEST WALL BILATERALLY.
Avatar m tn There are 2 schools of thought on management of calcium following surgically induced hypoparathyroidism. (1) increase active vit D (calcitrol) until ca levels can be managed with mostly dietary calcium or (2) take around 2000mg ca supplements and adjust calcitrol up or down to maintain levels. Anyone have any experience with the first method ???? I am getting conflicting instructions from different doctors.
7530804 tn?1398546771 re applying for cash aid, food stamps and WIC on Monday and I leave for CA on Wednesday for a week with no money and very shaky plans for the time I'm there. My best friend of 15 years always tells me that if I need help to just ask and she'll send money or whatever I need but I feel like s h i t, like a total loser that ****** up completely and I don't want to ask her to borrow that much money.
Avatar n tn There is a linear density noted in the right lung base and a small linear density in the retrosternal region. Focal areas of linear atelectasis and/or pleural parenchymal scarring with no other evidence of cardiopulmonary disease. What does this mean?
Avatar m tn I had a elevated CA 19.9 myself although not dramatically elevated. At the time i had undiagnosed hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and i found out a while later that elevated CA 19.9 can be due to thyroid disease so my results made sense. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease and the most common cause of hypothyroidism. And to add, hypothyroidism is one of the causes of ovarian cyst/s. Hashimoto's thyroiditis may show no symptoms earlier on in the disease.
Avatar f tn With no extension outside the thyroid, no lymph nodes, a single focus of a 5mm papillary cancer (follicular variant), and no blood vessel invasion -- the current guidelines state that RAI is not indicated. Some patients still chose RAI for peace of mind though.
