Based on the patient history and images you provided, this looks like a thyroid adenoma.
I don't know Grace, you may want to research this a little and try again later.
This 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.
this is a parathyroid adenoma do yo know that parathyroid is a hypervascular gland!
I 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!!!

This is adenoma because it has hypoechoic rim which represent fibrous capsule
I observed parathyroid adenoma at my clinical site couple days ago. It was hypervascular. Patient had high blood calcium levels.
