A member asked:
I am being tested for a nodule "outside" the thyroid gland, not "in" it. i have several symptoms for the last 2 years. throat or thyroid ?

Nodule: Could be many different things including ectopic thyroid nodule, parathyroid gland or lymph node. An fna (fine needle aspirate) may be helpful and would allow a pathologist to evaluate cells from this nodule. Best of luck.
