The isthmus measures 2 mm.

Both lobes of the thyroid have a heterogeneous echotexture and there is a 1.3 x 1.1 cm nodule involving the right lobe.

There is a small 9 mm x 7 mm nodule involving the left lobe.

IMPRESSION:        Heterogeneous echotexture of both lobes of the thyroid associated with
1.1 cm x 1.3 cm nodule involving the right lobe and 9 mm x 7 mm nodule involving the left lobe.  This may be related to goiter.  Other possibilities cannot be excluded.  Clinical correlation and further evaluation is suggested.
