See endocrinologist: Most nodules of the thyroid are benign, but thyroid cancers certainly do occur. We consider biopsy of a nodule that is larger than 10 mm, but other factors like your thyroid function, family history, radiation exposure, will influence that decision. You should see an endocrinologist for a full opinion.
