A lesion on thyroid and what does it cause and effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends upon: What the "lesion" is. If it's a nodule, they are generally, but not always, benign. Cancers so occur, but aren't that common compared to the total number of nodules. Each needs to be evaluated individually; check w/your doctor.
