A member asked:
A 2.3 cm solid nodule found on my thyroid on left lobe. no needle biopsy yet. can i have the nodule only removed? or is lobe removal the only way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid nodules: If your thyroid nodule requires removal, the nodule can be removed, not the entire lobe. The nodule can be benign and may not need removal. Seek consultation from a good ENT or endocrinological surgeon for this.
