Both lobes have a heterogeneous echotexture.  However, there is no solid or cystic nodule noted.

The isthmus measures 2 mm.

IMPRESSION:        Heterogeneous echotexture of both lobes and the findings are consistent with the present history of thyroiditis.  No definite solid or cystic nodule is noted.  Clinical correlation is suggested.
