Varies: Nodules may be visible lumps beneath the surface or invisible ones in the body of the organ, that may be palpable by trained fingers. Ultrasound & radionuclide scans are used to visualize & help characterize them. See doc for thyroid blood tests & follow-up imaging studies if needed.

Question 2

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 3

had 7mm thyroid nodule that went away in a month.also found to have thyroiditis.dr said thyroiditis can cause thyroid to look like it has a nodule?

Accepted Answer

Correct: Your doctor is right. Ultrasound picks up the most tiny of abberations, and a 7 mm nodule may well be of no consequence, or be part of the heterogeneity of hashimotos thyroiditis or scarring left over from subacute thyroiditis. A cancerous nodule would not "go away" so you don't need to worry.

Question 4

what does a nodule in your thyroid feel like?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: You might not feel anything if it's small.  Otherwise, it could feel like a lump, a node and if it's big enough, it can feel like a growth/mass on your neck.  If it's liquid, like a cyst, it could be soft.  If it's a solid growth, it could be rubbery and if it's calcified, it could have a rock/hard feel to it.

Question 5

what should i do about my thryoid nodule?

Accepted Answer

May need biopsy: Most thyroid nodules are benign. However, tests are done to make sure it is not a cancer. This may involve an ultrasound-guided biopsy. A radionucleotide thyroid scan may be performed. If the nodule is one of many in a multinodular goiter, there is less concern. An endocrinologist is in the best position to guide you and help make the right decisions.

what are thyroid nodules from?

Accepted Answer

Lumps in the gland: Nodules may be single or multiple (multinodular goiter) and may be due to benign colloid accumulations or 10% of the time cancer. See a thyroidologist to get a fine needle aspiration of any nodules that look suspicious on ultrasound.

Question 9

several adenomatous nodules on my thyroid measuring up to 0.4cm should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: Nodules in the thyroid are common and people tend to get more as they get older.  90-95% are not cancerous and if the largest is 0.4cm then it is too small to even biopsy.  D/w your doctor but no need to worry, just have a repeat ultrasound in 6-12 mths to make sure the nodules are not growing.
