Results of Sonogram

Good morning.

I received the results of my sonogram (over the phone). She read the report to me, and it said " "Heterogeneous thyroid gland, w/o discrete focal abnormality" She made me an appt to see the dr next week.

What does that mean? Has anyone else had this result? Are they going to biopsy it???

Thank you all

It's hard to figure out the medical terms that are used so you may have to just wait for your doctor's appointment to get the full picture.


I did a quick search of "heterogeneous thyroid gland" and came up with some sites and I checked other meanings for "heterogeneous" and the list included varied, mixed, assorted, diverse, and various.
