2.0 cm mass rt upper pole of thyroid, marked lt enlargement. cause of enlargement? surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery, yes: Sometimes ultrasounds and scans can show if they are cancerous or not, but a biopsy is better to evaluate that.Many thyroid masses are not cancerous, but when they start to affect your ability to swallow, then they should probably come out.
