Hello
welcome to health care magic
Because of enlargement of thyroid you have undergone FNAC,,
normally thyroid looks like a follicular pattern and in the middle colloid is seen(microscopically)..
In your case colloid is present in abundant..
No malignant cells are found(non-cancerous)
Usually thyroid goiter is seen when you have iodine deficiency,,in which cells undergo large size to absorb more and more iodine..
Consult physician for further suggestions and treatment..
Hope you understand my answer
Thank you
