Multinodular goiter is a common finding on sonography.
In this case there are both cystic and solid lesions in the right lobe of thyroid with extensive calcification of one of the nodules. The left lobe of thyroid shows a thick walled large cyst occupying most of the lobe. Multiple vascular intramural nodules are also seen in the cyst with considerable vascularity of these nodules.
Thyroid malignancy is highly likely in this situation.
The sonologist must look for potential sites for malignancy in any case of multinodular goitre.
