A member asked:

What is the treatment for hypoechoic solid nodule in the thyroid gland?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Make sure: Your thyroid function is tested and treated if abnormal. Have someone review the ultrasound; unless it is very tiny, you probably need a needle biopsy. Make sure a serum thyroglobulin has been drawn as a potential tumor marker, thyroid cancer is not common, but it is always better to err on the side of safety.
