Question 1

fnac report of thyroid nodule-colloid, individual follicular cell n folliculr cell in cluster  in haemorrhagic bckground. what it indicate?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Reports states the nodule was benign which means not cancerous, hemorrhagic, there was some blood which was probably from the size of needle used so don't worry.

Question 2

my thyroid nodule report says rare macrophages and colloid consistent with follicular lesion of undetermined significance. foll...lesion can't exclude?

Accepted Answer

Follow advice of end: Your Endocrinologist can guide you best. Your biopsy appears to be inadequate to make a definite diagnosis. Future follow up with an endocrinologist is advised so that your thyroid can be monitored for any further growth of this nodule which is easy to do with an ultrasound.

Question 3

known thyroid nodule , colloid area recurrent cysts , now pressure/pulling on neck especially lifting arm?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Now that your thyroid is causing you symptoms, i would advise you to consult with a surgeon about having your thyroid gland removed.

Question 4

fna on thyroid nodule shows predominately hurthle cells with follicular and colloid....34yrs old....nodule 2.7cm...hurthle cells cancer??

Accepted Answer

Hurtle cell: Hurtle cell cancer is very uncommon but does occur in some patients.
The thyroid nodule of 2.7 cm requires attention and may need biopsy. Please discuss this with your doctor.

Question 5

1st 2.4cm solid/cystic complex thyroid nodule fna was flus. 2nd biopsy non diagnostic insufficient follicular cells or colloid. do i need a third fna?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid: If your nodule is stable you should relax. The doctor will monitor your thyroid to assure you this is stable and OK.

Question 6

3.5cm thyroid nodule, ultrasound found solid mass and fluid filled cysts w/ calcifications. lymph node near carotid. could it be cancer? still waiting

Accepted Answer

Calcifications: Calcifications are red flags for thyroid cancers. Need US guided bx, if you have not already had. CT scan scan with contrast indicated.

Question 7

i have thyroid nodules and i'm having a lot of thick phlegm. also i began having pain that goes down to esophagus and up to the ear. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: Hi. Thyroid nodules and phlegm are unrelated. What is your thyroid function? I assume if you were hyperthyroid, you'd tell us. Pain to esophagus? That's not very specific. Some thyroid nodules are cancerous. The workup depends on several variables including size and echogenic characteristics. To directly answer your question, thyroid nodules, thick phlegm, and pain in esophagus are not normal.

Question 8

can a benign thyroid nodule grow?

Accepted Answer

: Some benign thyroid nodules grow and some don't. The ones that grow stay benign as a rule. I still recommend that a thyroidologist,endocrinologist or head &amp; neck surgeon follow patients with thyroid.nodules and I leave it up to them to determine how often studies are indicated on specific patients.

Question 9

what does a thyroid nodule look like?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Thyroid nodules can be filled with fluid, solid tissue or calcified.  Depending on how you look at them, ct, mri, us, they can have varying appearances.

Question 10

thyroid nodules (hot or cold)? how can you tell which is which?

Accepted Answer

Images: "hot" or "cold" is a term related to the appearance on nuclear medicine imaging.  A "hot" nodule is one that is too active, and secretes hormone, but benign.  A cold nodule takes up less tracer.  About 20% of these are malignant, and so they are biopsied.  Cysts will also show up cold as they are fluid rather than tissue, so this study should be interpreted along side an ultrasound.
