M on levothyroxine for 2 yrs. us identified dominant homogeneous solid thyroid nodule <1 cm on all 3 measures. appt. 6 weeks out. ok to wait? cancer?

Resect: Solitary nodule, if on scan is shown to be cold, probably represents a thyroid adenoma. Regardless of bx. there is a 40% chance that such a lesion could convert to malignancy. Emergency surgery is not indicated but rather proper work up to make correct decision.
