Explanation

"Bilobed right thyroid" refers to a condition where the right side of the thyroid gland, a small organ located in the neck, has two lobes or sections. Normally, the thyroid gland has two lobes, one on the right and one on the left, connected by a small bridge of tissue. However, in this case, the right side of the gland has an extra lobe, making it appear as if it has two parts. This is usually a harmless variation but can sometimes be associated with certain thyroid conditions.
