Is Biopsy Required For A Small Low Density Posterior Right Thyroid Lesion Measuring 1.7*0.9cm?
Hello Dr,
My question is I have 2 Nodes is 9mm in short axis on the left side.
Another 2 nodes on the right side 7mm. No cervical nodes of 1 CM or more in short axis dimensions are visible. According to the CT Scan Results.
There is A small low density posterior right thyroid lesion measuring
1.7x0.9 cm (cystic).
A few mildly prominent cervical nodes are visible. None measures 1cm or more in short axis dimension.
The Dr has required to do A Biopsy and ultra sound and I am A little concerned of doing biopsy. Please according to the results mentioned above would this be A concern and would you feel A Biopsy is necessary.
Thanks
Paul
