Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The given report of diffuse thyromegaly is indicative of increase in the size of thyroid gland but not any abnormality detected as long as the increase the over all mass is concern. Actually, the size of the gland does not matters but the hormone secretion of gland matters.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
