Based on the patient history and images you provided, this looks like a thyroid adenoma.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Grace, you may want to research this a little and try again later.
ReplyDeleteThis case study appears to represent a Parathyroid Adenoma. Parathyroid Adenomas are most commonly caused by Hyperparathyroidism, which can lead to high blood calcium levels. This condition can produce no symptoms and is usually found by a blood test.
ReplyDeletethis is a parathyroid adenoma do yo know that parathyroid is a hypervascular gland!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think that it's a parathyroid adenoma. They are the most common type of nodule found in the parathyroid gland. They are often misdiagnosed as a longus colli muscle!!!
ReplyDelete-Leah
This is adenoma because it has hypoechoic rim which represent fibrous capsule
ReplyDeleteI observed parathyroid adenoma at my clinical site couple days ago. It was hypervascular. Patient had high blood calcium levels.
