A member asked:

I have a 4.5 cm hypervascular thyroid nodule (benign) that has grown .6 mm in the past 5 months. is this considered rapidly growing?

Specializes in Endocrinology

Nodules: It is harder to follow a 4.5 cm nodule since it's already so large but 0.6 mm (are you sure it's mm and not cm?) is negligible.
