No: They are not dangerous intrinsically (or in other words - i don't believe they ever become cancerous - 99.9999% of the time). Worst case scenario is they can grow to become large and potentially cause issues with compressive symptoms if it pushes up against your esophagus.

Usually benign: Usually noted as homogenous fluid containing nodules on us..Colloid nodules, also known as adenomatous nodules are benign, noncancerous overgrowths of thyroid tissue. Although they may grow large, and there may be more than one, they are not malignant and they will not spread beyond the thyroid gland. Colloid nodules are most common kind of thyroid .Nodule.
