A member asked:

How big is a 2-cm heterogeneous mass at the lower pole of the thyroid?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Less than one inch: One inch is 2.54 cm, so your mass is a little less than one inch in diameter. You should have it biopsied at your earliest convenience, along with thyroid blood tests.
