A member asked:
2.5x1.5x2.1cm, well-defined, complex cystic focus is noted in my left thyroid lobe. is this malignant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biopsy: Something this size with complex cystic characteristic should probably be biopsied. Please see your doctor to discuss. In general, the risk of cancer is only approx. 5 %. No need to panic but should get it evaluated.
