A member asked:
Just needed help interpreting my recent neck and thyroid ultrasound. "slightly heterogeneous thyroid gland containing multiple tiny colloid cysts." clinical significance, if any? should i follow up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave it alone: Smallo cysts in the thyroid are benign and should best be left alone. I personally would not bother with follow-up.
