Numerous cold nodules
by nslope, Oct 30, 2008 07:08PM
Just reading the results of my Thyroid Uptake and Scan and it says I have numerous cold nodules. Have not seen the Endocrinologist yet but was wondering if this will require a needle byopsy and if this is something I should be worried about- the doctor who gave me the results over the phone today did not mention these cold nodules?

I would see an endo if I were you. They know much more about these things and give proper diagnosis. Don't worry. 95% of thyroid nodules are benign and if you have multiple nodules, there are even more chances of them being benign over a single nodule. The endo might ask for a biopsy. If you need biopsy, please make sure to get it done with ultrasound guidance and see that slides are sent to proper cytologist for reading. I was recently diagnosed with a single nodule and just went through biopsy etc.
