Thyroid nodule in the right lobe what this means?

I think the first diagnosis is not related to thyroid problem.\nTapeworm can result in changes in neck lymph node (cervical node).\nThyroid nodule can be benign hyperplasia, adenoma or carcinoma (cancer).  \nBlood tests can be helpful in the work up along with history and physical exam.\nThyroid scan (like X-ray study) and/or ultrasound may be necessary.  A quick and relatively non-invasive fine needle aspiration of the thyroid nodule can also be helpful to determine whether the nodule is cancer or not.\nEndocrinologist normally is experienced in dealing with thyroid nodule.\nGood luck.

It means that there is a spot in the lungs. That report by itself does NOT tell the cause of the spot. Often not cancerous and can be due to infection or scar tissue. Further testing usually needed to determine if cancer or not.

my only guess would be an upper right quadrant ultrasound.  That is where you liver is located.  The reason looks like abnormal liver functions test.

hyperthyroidism is when your thyroid is overactive, causing your metabolism to speed up\nhypothyroidism is when your thyroid is underactive, causing your metabolism to slow down

I think you should see an ear, nose, throat specialist because it may be your thyroid gland if it's in the neck! I would ask the specialist to have an ultrasound of your neck done! Good luck!!

You didn't say the form that you have. There are three forms of MEN 2 differ with regard to their tissue pattern involvement. A description of the forms http://cancer.duke.edu/hcc/thyroid.asp\n\nThe prognosis of thyroid lymphoma depends upon whether it is confined to the thyroid or has spread to other areas. \nhttp://www.tsh.org/disorders/nodules/cancer2.html#MTC

If you can see a difference in the size of your thyroid on your neck, then you have severe goiter - your thyroid swells when it is trying to grab every bit of iodine to get it to work.  Cysts are very small and you should not be able to see  them when you look at your neck.  Yes, cysts are normal and they don't usually do any major damage.  But a slow thyroid that is showing signs of goiter means you have an underactive thyroid - which may leave you sluggish and tired all the time.  They can do a TSH (thyroid-stimulating-hormone) test to see if your thyroid is functioning up to par.

I think you should ask your doctor about poly cystic ovarian disease and if he will check your thyroid.  Good Luck.

The thyroid gland is enlarged and may be out of its normal place. It can be complicated and may require surgery but relax(if you can) because it is treatable.

I had a similar problem, so I will tell you my story(hope it helps and doesn't bore you to death). This all happened after I had my daughter...I don't know if pregnancy caused it or if it was just coincidental. I first found out about my enlarged thyroid when I was sick. I went to the doctor for being sick, and she told me my thyroid was enlarged and wanted to run tests. I had felt it, but it wasn't that large at the time, so I just thought it was a swollen gland from infection. I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were normal. I went to an endocrinologist and he checked my levels again...normal. At that time, he told me that my only option was to have it removed because he couldn't treat it with medicine if my levels were fine. It wasn't very noticeable then, and I couldn't bare the thought of having my throat cut(he also told me insurance would not cover it because they would consider it 'cosmetic'). Anyway, over the course of the next 2-3 yrs, it gradually grew bigger and bigger. I had my levels checked several more times and they were always normal. I finally went to a new doctor, and she immediately referred me to a surgeon. The first time I saw him, he said it needed to come out. He said the larger it gets, the more chance there is of getting cancer in it. He measured my thyroid and my left nodule was 6cm wide. In January of last year, I had my entire thyroid removed leaving nothing but my parathyroid glands. My thyroid had grown so large that it wrapped around my esophogus and surgery lasted 6 hrs. I now take thyroid replacement hormones daily. If it does not go down, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist. The scar is barely noticeable. They make the incision so that it fits right in with the wrinkles in your neck. I hope this gave you a little insight. By the way, I was never diagnosed with anything other than a simple 'goiter'. \n\nI don't have any professional knowledge of this, but I believe that different people may possible have different ranges of what is 'normal' for their thyroid.  I find it hard to believe that I had all of the above problems, and probably some I forgot to mention, and didn't have even slightly low/high thyroid levels.  I would see another doctor, if not for the simple reason as this:  my surgeon told me that the longer the goiter sits there(and keeps growing and growing)the more likely you are to get cancer in your thyroid.  Good luck.

I do not know. None that I can figure out. I had my thyroid removed 22 yrs ago & do not sing better or sound different.

The word thyromegaly means your thyroid gland is larger than normal.  Inhomogenous echo means that you may have bands of fibrosis or scarring among the gland itself.  You must question your doctor until you understand what they are thinking and the implications it has for you as a patient.  This forum is the last place you should be relying on for sound advice.

Pulmonary Nodules\n\nThese are generally seen as solid densities in the lung, although it is difficult to truly differentiate whether a nodule is fluid-filled (cystic) or solid.\n\nManagement of nodules that are clearly benign or malignant is straightforward. The difficulty is in the evaluation and management of the indeterminate nodule. The goal is to correctly diagnose indeterminate nodules, allowing curative resection of early-stage malignant nodules and avoiding the morbidity and mortality of surgery for benign nodules. Ideally, the decision to resect or observe a nodule should be made within 1 month of presentation

I think you mean nodules, which are tiny wart like things on the vocal chords. They can be surgically removed and are quite common in vocalists

TSH stands for "thyroid-stimulating hormone". It is a hormone that is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and stimulates release of hormones by the thyroid gland.

I had a similar problem in 2000.  I had a 2cm nodule on my right thyroid, so they took that "lobe" of my thyroid out and left the other side, since there was no problem with my function.  The surgery went really well.  The surgeon made a larger than usual incision all across my neck so he could look at both sides, but sometimes, they can get away with only cutting on the side that they want to remove.  Either way, a really good surgeon will plan his incision in a place that will be mostly unnoticible, or where a common place for a neck wrinkle is or will be.\n\nI work weekends, so I had my surgery on Monday and did not take any time off.  I remember waking up very thirsty and was quite sore for the first few days, but after that, no problem.  You will kinda feel like Frankenstein, especially if the surgeon uses "staples" to keep his cut closed, but I think the use of staples decreases the chance of stitch infection and also decreases the scarring that can occur.  I was told to buy some "Mederma" to put on the area after the staples were removed, and to use triple antibiotic ointment while the wound was still healing.  The Mederma is a very good way to help heal the scar, it decreases scarring in most situations, and I even tried it on stretch marks after my first pregnancy.  Pretty good product that is a little pricey, but you only have one neck.\n\nI still get my thyroid checked once a year, and if my free TSH levels are ever off, my doctor will probably prescribe a hormone supplement, like synthroid, to keep me on track.  I hope you have just as easy a surgery as I did, and that you have no problems.  Make sure you have all the risks explained to you and that you feel comfortable with your doctor, which is advice I'd give to anyone about any surgical procedure.  Good Luck
