Six month ago i found a nodule on my right thyroid lobe it was 1.7 cm i had a FNA and the result were benign. i went back for my second sonogram and now is 2.5 cm it doesn't bother me or hurt my blood test are ok.

Thank you!

My first FNA said that has Benign follicular cells, with colloid and hemosiderin laden macrophages and consistent with an adenomatous nodule that has undergone cystic and hemorrhagic degeneration, do that means it still benign right even if its growing?

Usually a second biopsy is the next step.
