A member asked:
Single solid hypoechoic cold nodule 8mm.labs are normal.swollen supraclavicular nodes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neck node: This is most likely an incidental finding of no significance since 8 mm is below normal palpation threshold. Is the nodule in the thyroid or a separate cervical lymph node? Ultrasound is not specific for a pathology. We know nothing about you, not even your age, so no relevant diagnosis can be offered. This is the danger of performing studies without proper differential to lead the studies.

Thyroid nodules: Are almost always benign (not cancerous) but should be followed over months to years for increase in size or change in consistency. labs can be followed as well. Your doctor with the help of an Endocrinologist specialist can help you decide if a FNA -fine needle aspiration is necessary. If they get very big and/or obstruct nearby tissues a Surgeon ENT can help determine if removal is necessary.
