Here is the diagnosis from the fna, wondered wht 898 thought
Atypical benign thyroid nodule consistent with hashimoto's thyroiditis. Diagnosis:hashimoto's. The sample was satisfactory. Obgyn said it was good and that the endo would probably just see me every 6 months with an ultrasound every year.

The radiologist I talkes to at the hospital said that it says atypical benign consisitent with hashimotos because inflammation causes atypical cells in the nodule that are not cancerous? What are follicular cells?
The term atypical is used to describe follicular cells; but if nodule is benign,just wait until the next ultrasound.
