Lobular Morphology

I don't understand the findings on the ulltrasound which states: The thyroid gland is enlarged with a globular morphology. What does this mean?

FYI, the cystic nodules can be treated using ethanol ablation procedure (abbreviated PEI)in place of surgery; using this procedure on solid nodules was not as successful.

Thank you so much for clearing this up. I feel so much better.  I have been monitored for 3 years for a growing multinodular goiter which has progressed to the point that a thyroidectomy is being scheduled. I'm glad the findings have not introduced anything new to worry about. Thank you again.

This term is used in metallurgy but in medicine it is another word for nodular goiter
