A member asked:
Within the right thyroid, a well circumscribed heterogeneously enhancing hypodense nodule, measuring 2.5 cm was found on a ct scan of the parathyroids. lung cancer was also incidentally picked up. could the thyroid nodule be cancer as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, the Thyroid nodule can be cancerous. It is not uncommon for tumors to spread to the Thyroid gland. So it could be a spread of lung Cancer to your Thyroid gland. Alternatively Primary Thyroid cancer can be present independently of your Lung Cancer. Depending on the stage of Lung Cancer, the thyroid nodule may need to be biopsied to determine its histologic type and if it may need to be removed
