Conflicting readings
I had an US done about five weeks ago and amoung other scary things, they said that they saw single punctate calcification. When I went to my endo she said that she disagreed and didn't see the calcification. Has anyone had a similar experience? She did take a biopsy and I am just waiting anxiously on the results. I have a strong family history of thyroid cancer and am having a hard time waiting. Thanks for any help.
Thanks, the biopsy was last Wednesday, so hopefully I will hear soon. Thanks for the support.

According to Lin,. Escott & Kavita (2008),
”Punctate, linear, eggshell, amorphous, and nodular calcifications can occur in benign and malignant thyroid tumors”.
Coarse calcification is defined as a size of >1.5 mm.
