How serious is dominant cystic nodule in thyroid?


Question:
My friend has just had an ultrasound on her thyroid which had appeared slightly swollen. The results show that she has a dominant cystic nodule and some of the fluid they drained contained colloids. They have referred her to a thoracic surgeon. Is this potentially serious, could it be cancer?

Answers:
Be aware that 95% nodules on thyroids are benign, however there is a chance that this could be cancer. She should attend the surgeon who will do further tests to discover whatit is. There is no point worrying till you have the full picture.
Goodluck
