Broken Thyroid?

[cuzpaulasaysso]

I recently had a biopsy which came back benign. Before that appointment, I had a MRI done. During the biopsy appointment, my endocrinologist said that it appeared that as I was growing, a piece of my left lobe had broken off and was lower in my neck than the main part of my thyroid. I have to go back in 6 months to see if three nodules that were found on this section of thyroid have grown as they have indications of pre-cancer. Has anyone else had this particular issue?

Thank you for that! I could find no information on it and my endo was not really clear except to say that the nodules on that section were the ones that needed watching as they are "concerning" though too small to biopsy at this time. I go back in June for another few dozen scans LOL

You are describing aberrant thyroid tissue which appears as broken part of thyroid lobe. To confirm that it is a part of thyroid and not something else nuclear imaging scan can be done. On the other hand, the benign nodule can grow but this growth it is not an indication precancerous condition. Normally, if nodule changes its size AND structure (become calcified without apparent reason or develops intense internal blood flow second biopsy is done.
I could look for more information if you provide details of the biopsy findings.
