Confused about FNA results

[loucee]

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and was wondering if someone could help me understand my FNA results, The Clinical Notes say

Small hypocechoic lesion?beign nodule: exclude malignancy I'm presuming with is what they are saying I went in for to get the FNA done?

then it goes on to say

Microscopic: The specimen is moderately cellular. Some cell groups show a microfollicular pattern. A small amount of colloid is present.
Comment: This is an atypical follicular pattern suggestive of a follicular neoplasm or a hyperplastic follicularnodule.

I'm finding it hard to get my head around any of this could someone please help and give me your opinions please.

Cheers

This is "indeterminate" as read, meaning 15-25% chance of cancer on average.  Would send slides to expert as often this will help as many are reclassified as benign by an expert.
