A member asked:
Is subcentimeter heterogeneous hypoechoic lesions of the thyroid likely to be cancerous ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A large study found that nodules less than 2.5 cm are usually harmless. It is also reassuring that there are multiple nodules. Thyroid nodules very common and frequently harmless.
