A member asked:
Previous hemi-thyroid. now, multiple small nodules and one heterogenous 12x6x5mm complex, peri.vasc. surgeon says come back 1 yr. too small to biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really.: It would be possible to biopsy this, particularly with the use of ultrasound guidance. If this worries you given your history, you should not be afraid to seek a second opinion from another ENT surgeon or endocrinologist.
