A member asked:

Solitary thyroid hypoechoic nodule, peripheral thin calcification, peripheral vascularization, 7-6-7 mm; tsh: 0.465; tg: 48.7. can it be cancerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely not: This is most likely a benign adenoma; however, due to vascularity it may need to be biopsies/excised. Your nodule is right at the borderline for biopsy recommendation. Some endocrinologists would also recommend waiting six months and repeating ultrasound then to make sure there is no change in size of the nodule.
