Question 4

hi.. should i consider surgery for a large ill-defined heterogeneous predominately solid nodule with several cystic areas? 4.30cm x 6.06cm  5.75cm

Accepted Answer

Location?: We do not have enough information about your nodule. Is it a thyroid nodule, or a nodule in the lung or in ovary or another part of body. You can resubmit your question. What did your doctors advice. Follow their advice

Question 5

what should i expect for a biopsy of nodule in neck? will it hurt? how long is the procedure? how many times will they stab? will they numb the area?

Accepted Answer

Hope it helps: Surgeons may give a tranquilizer , general anesthesia, or local depending on how large the thing on your neck being biopsies is... If it is a lymph node and is small they may provide small local numb medicine and then inject with a needle to do another biopsy. If it is a skin biopsy again depending on the size can do a local numb as well. Anything larger they may perform general. You will do fine.

Question 6

i had a biopsy done in march. this was for a nodule on my isthemus.  it was not cancer. however i have been having pain when bending my neck down and lifting it up. in the area. ?

Accepted Answer

Scar tissue?: My guess is you mean the isthmus of the thyroid. Obviously it's been quite a while since the biopsy was done however scar tissue can occur which is tougher and less resilient than normal tissue. This can bind surrounding tissue like tight strings. Consider a follow-up evaluation with your surgeon to see if there's any exercises or local massage that might loosen things up.

Question 7

in the lung, if there is a subplueral nodule in the periphery base, is that an area that can be operated on or no?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sub pleural nodules are usually easy to access thoracoscopically.  Smaller ones may be difficult to find and may require a hybrid approach with interventional radiology and surgery.

Question 8

whar is abnormal area of ground glass shadowing in right upper lobe and tiny nodule on the left mean?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Ground glass shadow on ct scan usually means an inflammatory process which could be infectious or could be related to interstitial lung disease, of which there are many varieties. A tiny nodule, if less than 3-5 mm at your age is not likely significant, and is most likely post-inflammatory. The important thing is to obtain serial follow up to determine activity.  Stay in touch with your md.

Question 9

i had an thyroid us, a 3mm hypoechoic solid nodule, but when i see the images   other similars areas are shown, should i ask for a review of the us?

Accepted Answer

No : 3 mm is very small. Even if you have more it would not change anything. The only thing you need is to have another ultrasound in the future (1yr) and see if anything changes.

Question 10

thyroid us after 3 mos: "previously noted ill-defined hypoechoic nodule now felt to represent an area of more focal heterogeneous thyroid tissue...?

Accepted Answer

Common: They couldn't really know for sure if there was a nodule the first time, that's why they said "ill-defined". Now they think it's just tissues and not a nodule. This happens all the time. That's the nature of ultrasound and the thyroid.
