A member asked:
Small thyroid nodule on right side of neck only; hasn't noticeably grown in five years. chance it will ever grow? what percent of nodules do grow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: If the nodule is "small" and hasn't grown in five years, it is probably benign and not a problem. Keep watching it, and check an ultrasound as you probably will form further nodules in the future.
