A member asked:
Nodule on thyroid . then did a fna . the result was 1.7cm "left thyroid nodule is heterogeneous & mildly hypoechoic. any reason to worry?

What did FNA show?: The description you give is of the ultrasound, not the fine-needle aspiration. Yes, I'm worried. But you do need to find out what the FNA showed. If there's any reason to think this is cancer, address it without delay. Best wishes.
