A member asked:
Went to the er and had ct and i was told i had mass on right side of thyroid what can it be im very scared?

Don't be scared: Incidentally discovered thyroid masses are very common, more so in women. You can see an endocrinologist who will evaluate thyroid function, and depending on the size of the mass order a needle biopsy (a very simple procedure), usually ordered if it is over 1-1.5 cm in size. The overwhelming majority are benign.
