A member asked:

What could 3 heterigeneous hyperechoic nodules in left lobe of thyroid be. measurements are .9, 1.5,and 1.0. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need further tests: Thyroid nodules can be benign or cancerous. You need to have a fine needle aspiration of the nodules to make sure that they are benign. Only about 5% of thyroid nodules are cancer but you need the aspiration to prove that yours are benign.
