Mild augmentation of vascularity is present, especially around the nodules.
A large (macro) calcific lesions is present in right lobe.
Diffuse enlargement of thyroid is present.

? parathyroid adenoma.

3) Thyroglossal duct cyst:

It shows both solid and cystic areas also.
No calcification is present. The lesion is very vascular.
  • Findings suggest infected thyroglossal duct cyst.
4) Another report of thyroglossal duct cyst:
There is a complex mass (2.5 x 1.7 x 1.8 cms.) just to the left of the left of midline (at the level of thyroid cartilage).
It shows both (2 in number) solid, hyperechoic, rounded areas with a cystic area also seen.
