Probably: If the pathologist cannot rule out cancer and recommends surgery rather than repeat biopsy, go for it. That bump isn't going to get any smaller even if it's benign, and who wants it?

Probably: The thyroid gland is one composed of glandular tissue. When a solitary lesion appears with the components representing follicles of thyroid tissue, this may be a transforming lesion. The rule is that a solitary lesion may be or converting to cancer while the presence of multiple nodules represents goiter. A solitary lesion should be resected .
