What is a thyroid nodule 1.3 cm.?

Answer 1

Simply put, thyroid nodules are lumps that commonly arise within an otherwise normal thyroid gland. Often these abnormal growths of thyroid tissue are located at the edge of the thyroid gland, so they can be felt as a lump in the throat. Remember that the vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign. The nodule should be evaluated by a physician who is comfortable with this problem. Endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons deal with these problems on a regular basis, but many family practice physicians, general internists, and general surgeons are also adept at addressing thyroid nodules.
