thanks, trying not to worry. But its not easy. thanks
Hi Sally,
They could still be definitely benign!! Internal vascularity raises the suspicion of malignancy but there are a significant number of benign nodules that have that and are still benign. So don't worry yet.
all of my bloodwork came back normal except i haven't got the calitonian test yet they didn't freeze it before sending it so i had to send it again.
greater than 1cm, illdefined borders, mild vascularity does that mean they are definitely cancer or could they still be benign.
There are several reasons the biopsy is necessary:
2 nodules are greater then 1 cm
The nodules have ill-defined borders
The nodules are having internal vascularity
The benign nodules are mostly having well definite margins and no internal vascularity
The isoechoic means it is reflecting the same amount of ultrasound waves as the surrounding tissue, the hypoechoic means it reflects less waves then surrounding tissue.
The hypoechoic halo is actually the sign of benign nodule, however the ill-defined margins and internal vascularity are making the nodules suspicios
