what is heterogeneously dense breast parenchyma?
Parenchyma just means the bulk of an organ. Your question doesn't say what body part you're asking about, but dense glandular parenchyma in the breasts, for instance, is not dangerous. It probably means your breasts are young, firm, and not particularly fatty or saggy.
Glandular parenchyma in the breasts refers to the pattern of the breast tissue. If the parenchyma is more complex and dense, a person has a higher risk of breast cancer.

What is moderate breast parenchyma?
Why is breast density significant?Dense breasts contain more glandular and connective tissue. Less dense breasts are mainly made up of fat tissue. Every woman has different amounts of the different types of tissue in her breasts. Breast cancer itself is made up of dense tissue. This means that on a mammogram, a tumor is harder to spot in dense tissue than in fatty tissue, because the tumor looks a lot like the tissue around it. An analogy is often used to describe the way dense tissue looks on film, "It's like looking for a polar bear in a snow storm." Breast cancers are readily seen in fatty tissue with up to 98% sensitivity in film mammography.Dense breast tissue itself is a risk factor for breast cancer, with the risk 4-6 fold higher in women with extremely dense breasts compared to fatty breasts, and breast cancer is more likely to develop in denser areas of the breast. Extremely dense (>75% dense) or heterogeneously dense (51-75% dense) is present in over half of women younger than age 50 years and one-third of women age 50 years and older.
Thyroid parenchyma is the normal bulk of the thyroid.
The parenchyma are the functional parts of an organ in the body.
