Let's find out: This may be nothing but a colloid nodule in a developing nodular goiter. If the radiologist can't rule out cancer, you may be getting a fine-needle aspiration. With this pattern of calcification, it's unlikely to be an aggressive tumor even if it is cancer.

Probably not cancer: A calcified thyroid nodule is very unlikely to be malignant. It could be followed with a repeat ultrasound in 4 to 6 months. If not growing, it could be followed at more distant intervals. Alternately, a fine needle ultrasound guided aspiration biopsy could be performed now.
