Hi,
Scar in lung with thyroid mass may be possible with primary in thyroid with secondary in lung. It may be individual lesions. Until examination is done by HRCT, radio iodine uptake or fine needle aspiration it difficult to say what it is. Please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
