A member asked:

4 years ago radiologist scanned thyroid after tech didn't see anything. saw 3mm hypoechoic thyroid nodule that "was mild on real time transmission" and "was probably a complex cyst". he said i didn't need a follow up ultrasound unless dr feels it.ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Small Thyroid nodule: 3 mm is small and very common. Current ATA guidelines discourage biopsy of lesions less than 10 mm. If you aren’t having symptoms and don’t develop a mass, I wouldn’t worry. If you have any doubts, seek a second opinion and a repeat ultrasound.
