Uneven echogenicity of the thyroid parenchyma is most often seen in nodular goiter, thyroid adenoma, or thyroid cancer. If a nodular goiter is combined with hyperthyroidism, it should be treated with anti-hyperthyroidism, while if it is a thyroid tumor, it is usually untreated. If thyroid cancer is highly suspected or diagnosed, it should be treated with surgery as soon as possible.
Uneven echogenicity of the thyroid parenchyma is described as an ultrasound change under thyroid ultrasound. Generally, the echogenicity of the thyroid parenchyma is uniform, but if nodules are present, uneven echogenicity of the thyroid parenchyma can occur, most often in nodular goiter, thyroid adenoma (single or multiple), thyroid cancer, etc. The results of this study will be reported in the next few weeks.
If the nodular goiter is combined with hyperthyroidism, it needs to be treated as hyperthyroidism. The most important thing is to have a good understanding of the situation. However, if the tumor increases significantly within a short period of time, or if there is calcification, or irregular shape, or abnormal peripheral blood flow, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If thyroid cancer is diagnosed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
