nodule - (mineralogy) a small rounded lump of mineral substance (usually harder than the surrounding rock or sediment) mineralogy - the branch of geology that studies minerals: their structure and properties and the ways of distinguishing them.
Also suspicious findings in a nodule are hypoechoic, irregular borders, microcalcifications, or very high levels of blood flow within the nodule. Less suspicious findings in benign nodules include, hyperechoic, comet tail artifacts from colloid, no blood flow in the nodule and a halo, or smooth border.
