Thyroid CT scan question

[desertflwr]

Hello,
I recently had a CT scan of my thyroid.  The results showed "left parathyroid adenoma vs. hyperplasia.  Recommend correlation with parathyroid scintigraphy and serum calcium and parathormone levels."  What the scan found was a "hypodense 7 mm nodule in the right lobe of the thyroid gland.  Abutting the posterior margin of the left lobe lower pole is an enhancing oval 1 x 8 mm mass isodense with thyroid parenchyma."
The nurse that gave me the results said not to worry.  The ENT doctor is away for a couple of weeks and well, I am a little worried.  Can you tell me if the description is something I should be concerned about?  Is this condition something that could with medical or dietary intervention be cured?  Thank-you, desertflwr

Thanks for the info.  I'm new at this and appreciate the input.  I'm reading Dr. Weil's 'Spontaneous Healing' and hope I can come up with something there to help my thyroid out.  Thanks again.

Hi, I am not too familiary with para conditions but the word adenoma is overgrowth of thyroid tissue I do believe and is benign as my nodules were when biopsied .. they were follicular adeonomas.  I am not sure about the other term -- hyperplasia ...  maybe some others will jump in.  The parathyroid issue may be resp. for some of your results in the calcium dept on your bloodwork but I am NOT a Dr at all ..just a patient like you and really cannot be sure or diagnose ..

You can repost on Dr. Lupo's community, too.  http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Thyroid/show/120

The other nodules found in the thyroid are pretty small and probably unable to biopsy due to their size.  They typically monitor small ones like that ev; 6mos - yr.
