Bilateral thyroid masses. This is consistent with carcinoma. Furthermore, a hepatic metastatic lesion is suspected.
The right cervical region revealed a 5 x 4 cm lobar mass likely deriving from residual thyroid tissue. The region of the left thyroid was enlarged and created a hypoechoic mass measuring 5.2 x 1.9 cm. Regional lymphadenopathy also appeared present. The liver presented hypoechoic nodular changes in the deep right liver measuring 2.59 cm in short axis.
No known outcome.
Thyroid carcinoma, other neoplasia, granuloma, abscess
FNA of the cervical and hepatic lesions are recommended for confirmation. No sampling was done at the time of the scan.
