Multinodulært
Multinodulært is a term used to describe a condition or characteristic that involves the presence of multiple nodules. A nodule is a small, localized swelling or lump. Therefore, "multinodulært" signifies that there are several of these discrete lumps or masses. This descriptive term can be applied in various contexts, most notably in medicine. For instance, multinodular goiter refers to an enlarged thyroid gland containing numerous nodules. Similarly, multinodular lung disease indicates the presence of multiple nodules within the lungs. The underlying cause and significance of multinodular findings vary greatly depending on the organ or tissue affected and the specific clinical presentation. Diagnosis often involves imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI, and may require a biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules, whether benign or malignant. The management strategy will then depend on the identified cause and the number, size, and characteristics of the nodules.
