Can thyroid nodules shrink over time? nodule in 2016 was 3.49cm. as of today, nodule is 2.9cm. fna says nodule on right lobe is heterogeneous, honeycomb pattern. does this mean nodule is stable and shrinking on its own? thank you, elizabeth?

Solitary thyroid nodules have been known to shrink over time. Thyroid nodules over 2 cm still raise some concern & also, heterogeneous thyroid nodules can not be labeled as benign with certainty. The shrinkage & FNA are reassuring but honeycombing makes it tricky. For best advice about further testing, continued observation or possible surgery, I recommend consulting an head&neck surgeon
