Accepted Answer

Generally, one does: NOT go in and surgically remove multiple nodules in the lungs.  A biopsy may be necessary to get a diagnosis, but this would be to obtain a specimen for microscopic analysis &amp; culture.  Once it's been determined what the nodules consist of, then a appropriate treatment can be implemented.  Sometimes no treatment is needed.  Best wishes.  Dr. Anne.

throid nodules. upper right lobe hot, lower right lobe cold 3.4cm. does that mean i have hyper and hypo thyriodism at the same time?

Accepted Answer

No: the only way to know is to check your blood test.  the hot nodule  is probably causing you to be hyperthyroid but only labs can tell you that. You will need to see your doc to biopsy the cold nodule. It's has a higher risk of cancer if it's cold. Keep in mind most cold nodules are still benign but in your case, it should be biopsied since it's a large, cold nodule.
