A member asked:
Should i remove 5cm thyroid mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get thyroid checked: Your question does not provide enough information. You need to see an endocrinologist who does thyroid ultrasound and needle biopsy. A solitary "cold" nodule of 5 cm may be worrisome, but a cyst would be less so, same with a "hot nodule". The whole thyroid needs to be assessed.
