A member asked:

Solitary subcentimeter nodule in the left thyroid lobe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Watch/retest: Unless you have a thyroid cancer history, the nodule is suspicious on ultrasound or other factors are in play -- check serum thyroglobulin and thyroid function. Repeat doctor's exam an ultrasound in a year. Generally of very low significance and found in over 50% of the population.
