Complex thyroid cyst: https://www.thyroid.org/wp-content/uploads/patients/brochures/Nodules_brochure.pdf Nodules are associated with Hashimoto's, as is iodine deficiency and family history. The cyst since it contains solid elements should be monitored and if larger around 8-10 mm should be biopsied to check for malignancy. which easy to treat successfully. f/u/ w/ doc
