Hello,
I am 33 years old and have been diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroiditis and a mulitnodular goiter. I had an ultrasound done and my right lobe is bigger then the left . It measures 4.4 cm. I also had an Fna biopsy done and it states this:
The specimen is moderately cellular and consists of lymphoid population which is polymorphic, including small lymphocytes and larger reactive- appearing lymphoid cells.Howeever, there are atypical lymphoid cells seen; a lymphoproliferative disorder arising in the background of thyroiditis can not be entirely excluded.Rare scattered follicular and Hurthle cells are seen.Colloid is scant. The fusing is Atypia of undetermined significance. I can feel the lump on the outside if my neck. I have pain on the right side back if my neck, I feel dizzy, discomfort when swallowing and a clicking sound and pressure in my right ear. With my symptoms and the FNA biopsy finding, should I have this thyroid removed?
TY for your reply but I was mistaken it had been 6 months not 3 months.
2 weeks ago a biopsy was done on the 4.5cc bloody fluid taken from the fluid filled cyst and the biopsy (2 places) on the solid cyst was indeterminate. So the wait for results starts all over again...only now I am very concerned.
most common cause of a sudden cyst enlargement would be bleeding into a small cyst. A 2.56 cm solid nodule is not likely to appear that quickly so would have the previous ultrasound reviewed.
