Hi,
I recently had an ultrasound scheduled by my GP because of me having a tight feeling in my throat and because she noticed a lot of lymph nodes when examining me. Here were the ultrasound results below. My GP is taking the ultrasound results seriously, but when I called my Endo's office, they let me know that everything looks normal and there is no need to change my annual appointment. I am frustrated with this, am I wrong?
----------------------------
Ultrasound of Neck & Thyroid
----------------------------
Multiple lymph nodes are seen in the neck. In the right anterior triangle five lymph nodes are counted and the largest is 1.2cm x 0.6cm. In the left anterior triangle, seven lymph nodes are counted and the largest is 1.8cm x 0.6cm. All of these lymph nodes are showing fatty hilum.
Right thyroid lobe is 5.0cm x 1.4cm x 1.5cm, left lobe is 3.7cm x 1.6cm x 1.0cm and the isthmus is 0.3cm. The left lobe, in the middle portion, shows a 0.8cm x 0.5cm well defined slightly hypoechoic nodule and the echo suggests an adenoma. The parenchyma elsewhere is slightly coarse.
Summary: Multiple lymph nodes in right and left anterior triangles of the neck. Normal sized thyroid gland with slightly coarse echotexture and left lobe adenoma found.
--------------------
Ultrasound of Axillae
--------------------
Scans through the left and right axillae show multiple lymph nodes as well. There are five on the right side and six on the left. These lymph nodes show fatty hilum. The largest lymph node on the left is 2.4cm x 0.8cm and the largest on the right shows 2.5cm x 0.6cm.
Summary: Five lymph nodes found on the right axilla and six found on the left axilla.
