Question 2

can thyroid nodules shrink over time? nodule in 2016 was 3.49cm. as of today, nodule is 2.9cm. fna says nodule on right lobe is heterogeneous, honeycomb pattern. does this mean nodule is stable and shrinking on its own? thank you, elizabeth?

Accepted Answer

: Solitary thyroid nodules have been known to shrink over time. Thyroid nodules over 2 cm still raise some concern &amp; also, heterogeneous thyroid nodules can not be labeled as benign with certainty. The shrinkage &amp; FNA are reassuring but honeycombing 
makes it tricky. For best advice about further testing, continued observation or possible surgery, I recommend consulting an head&amp;neck surgeon

Question 3

my mother has a honeycomb cyst in her breast and she wants to know whether it is dangerous or not and what's the cure?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: There are often dozens of tiny cysts throughout the breasts, giving a honeycomb appearance. Usually only 1 or 2 cysts will swell to a size where they can be felt.

They are almost always benign but might require aspiration for evaluation if they enlarge/ or persist

Question 4

my mother has a honeycomb cyst in her breast and she wants to know what is the reason of this disease? and what foods are helpful or harmful to her.

Accepted Answer

Fibrocystic Disease?: If there is a single Honeycomb cyst by Ultrasound; needs monitoring. Possibly Aspiration. If she had these for a while then this must be Fibrocystic Disease. Avoid Chocolate, Caffine and try taking Vit E and Anti inflammatory medicine.

Question 5

i have skin discoloration and swelling on my right shin. it is red and honeycomb shaped. there has been no trauma or pain. blood and x-rays normal. ?

Accepted Answer

Skin condition: There are many different skin conditions that could cause this from dermatitis/eczema, psorisis, or something more serious. Depends on how long it has been there, other symtoms like itching  or pain or if it bleeds or drains any. A picture would help. you may need it biopsied to find out specifically what is causing it. You could try topical hydrocortisone cream for a short period if it helps.
