26 f w/ nodule that is solid heterogenous, increased vascularity, internal microcalcifications, 7x5x8mm, is this high risk malignant?

Indeterminate: Overall risk of malignancy in a solitary solid thyroid nodule is up to 25%. Ultrasound guided needle biopsy of such nodules is therefore frequently recommended.

Not for sure: More than 95 percent of thyroid nodules are benign. Size is criteria for biopsy, greater than 1 cm. For thyroid nodules with a diameter of 1 cm or less, the sensitivity of microcalcifications for malignancy lower than in larger nodules. Should follow closely with repeat us exam.

Based on the study: In this link, with your particular case, there's 50 % chance that your thyroid nodule could be malignant.Only a biopsy can confirm a diagnosis. Let's hope & pray it's benign. Take care! http://healthcare.Financialexpress.Com/201201/radiology02.Shtml.
