A member asked:
A 0.3 x 0.5 x 0.3 cm hypoechoic cystic nodule with punctate internal echo is noted in the lower pole of the right lobe of the thyroid gland.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small nodule: Often cystic thyroid nodules can have denser regions called "punctate foci". If the nodule is not cystic those can also be microcalcifications, a finding that increases the risk of thyroid cancer. The key though is that the nodule is very small and therefore requires monitoring only, no matter what its nature may be.
