1. The June 1997 ultrasound:
The Right lobe is 73 x 25 x 27 mm.
2 and 7/8 inches x 1 x 1 and 1/16 inch.
The Left lobe is 61x 16 x 18 mm.
2 and 7/16 inches x 5/8 x 23/32 inch.
Right lobe upper: 7 x 9 mm solid nodule.
1/4 x 5/16 inch.
Right lobe lower: 39 x 24 x 22 mm abnormality,
1 and 1/2 inches x 1 and 5/16 inches x 27/32 inch
comprised of irregular fluid and solid portions. ( This is the cyst )
Left lobe mid portion: a 7 mm solid nodule.
1/4 inch.
Left lobe lower: 13 x 11x 9 mm solid nodule.
1/2 x 7/16 x 5/16 inch.
2. The August 1998 ultrasound:
The Right lobe is 5.9 x 2.1 x 2.5 cm
2 and 1/3 inches x 13/16 x 1 inch
smaller
The Left lobe is 5.6 x 1.7 x 1.4 cm
2 and 1/4 inches x 5/8 x 9/16 inch
very slightly smaller
Right lobe lower: 3.1 x 2.1 x 2.5 cm
1 and 1/4 inches x 13/16 x 1 inch
complex mass with multiple
cystic areas and serpiginous thickened soft tissue. ( This is the cyst )
very slightly smaller
Left lobe lower: tiny hypoechoic nodule 5 mm
3/16 inch
in maximal diameter
smaller
Radiology assessment of ultrasound: Goiter with complex nodule lower pole right lobe. In
view of the complex character a fine needle aspiration biopsy of the lower pole nodule
should be considered.
