A member asked:
I recently had a fna of my thyroid nodule. the results showed "benign, hyperplastic nodule with extensive hurthle cell metaplasia". should i worry?

Needs surgery: see your doctor. You need a referral to a surgeon. Hurtle cell can be benign or malignant. It is impossible to tell whether it is benign or cancerous on a fine needle aspiration. You need surgery to remove that side of your thyroid in order to know100% if it is one or the other.
