I recently had an US done to monitor MN goitre. The test results indicated that the thyroid itself is no longer enlarged but that there is a dominat nodule and some areas of hypoechoic nodularity. I was advised to have a needle biopsy. The doctor perfroming the biospy took tissue and cell samples.Everything that I have been reading indicates that "hypoechic" is one of the markers for cancer of thyroid/nodules. I am wondering if this is always true or if there has to be other issues as well that would indicate this to be the case. The nodule in question is 1.7 X 1.1 as opposed to 1.4 and 1 last year-the final measurement remained the same. Very concerned and very worried about the results of the biopsy-the waiting is killing me! Any advice or better explanation of the terminology would really be very helpful. All thyroid blood work is within normal levels.
