Left lobe, longitudinal scan. We cannot find echogenic lines, only granules. On the other hand the video revealed that the lesion had bright echogenic lines, too. Therefore these intranodular figures are not punctate echogenic foci (microcalcifications) but presentations of connective tissue. The discrete hypoechogenic lesion is probably not a nodule in pathological sense.
