Thyroids Mass
by magdalyn, Jun 30, 2008 11:54AM
Hello:
I am concerned. I noticed a huge lump on my neck, it was not there a week ago and it rapidly grew. I went to the
doctor and he sent me for an emergency ultrasound and discovered a mass 4.5 cm x 3.7 x 2.5 cm with liquid elements in it. They took a thyroid blood test and it is normal. I have a biopsy on Thursday. I also read that medications for epilepsy can also cause thyroids to enlarge. I am so worried right now. I do take clonazepam about 1/2 of a .5 mg every other day for anxiety disorder. Do you have any idea from your knowledge of what this can be? Any advice for a worried young lady?
Thanks,

Without detailed description of mass from the ultrasound, it is possible to speculate that the small pre-existing thyroid nodule rapidly increased in size due to the intranodular bleeding.
