Likely benign: Cystic hypoechoic nodule is usually benign particularly without solid components.However some malignant tumors have cystic components. Most nodules less than 1 cm are not biopsied. Most small nodules are usually benign. Why did you get thyroid scan in the first place? Most nodules of this size are not appreciated on physical exam unless very superficial.
