A member asked:
Thyroid has several nodules but told they are fine as they are small. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: 95% of solitary nodules benign.High-resolution ultrasonography reveals nodules as small as 2 mm in 35% to 67% of the general population.Common benign nodules include adenomas, thyroid cysts, and hashimoto's thyroiditis.Us characteristics of nodules suggest cancer: marked hypoechogenicity, irregular margins, vascularity, shape, solid components.Most biopsied nodules greater than one cm. In diameter.
