Hurthle change is common in the thyroid -- seen in both Hashimoto's and other benign thyroid conditions. hyperplasia means overgrowth -- it appears this was a benign overgrowth. If you are still concerned, you could ask that the surgical specimen be sent to an expert lab (university of Pennsylvania, Hopkins, Mayo etc) for evaluation to be certain.
thank-you. I think all is ok, now that I understand Hurthle cells are not the definitive Cancer cell,

I would ask them. how long did it take before you recieved your report back? I am waiting for mine and what symptoms did you have. did you have an rash or reactions to iodine?
thankyou, abby
