A member asked:
Is it unusual to remove only the 2cm thyroid mass and not the lobe it is on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimally invasive: After ultrasound, biopsy, and scan, if there is still some suspicion that the nodule could be a cancer, it would have to come out. In the or, the surgeon may remove the nodule, wait for a reading from the pathologist , and if benign, do as little as possible to the rest of the thyroid. If the nodule occupied the whole lobe, or was hard to separate, the surgeon may remove the whole lobe.
