Thyroid single dominant heterogenous no calcifications increased size from 2009 1.2x1.3x2.4cm 2.9x2.9x3.7.biopsy needed.surgery needed even if benign?

It depends: The nodule you describe has benign characteristics and is likely a colloid (benign) nod. You said it grew from 2009, but when was the last US & by how much. Were the US's done by the same group, were the images or only reports compared? Are TFTs nl. f it got significantly bigger a repeat biopsy is likely in order. If growth is rapid, it causes sx's or bothers you surgery is a reasonable option.
