Not common: It is not common to need another ultrasound 10 days after a thyroid biopsy. I would ask the physician who ordered the study why you would need another ultrasound so soon.

No: Not unless there has been a significant clinical change or another biopsy is required. Repeat biopsy will be necessary at intervals to evaluate progress and possible therapies.

Doctor said I should get a biopsy on my 6.5mm thyroid nodule. It's hypoechoic and nothing else suspicious on ultrasound. He said it's for "peace of mind". Is this normal practice for a small nodule?
