Would You Biopsy This Thyroid Nodule? A Case In Point
Would you biopsy a 1-cm mobile nodule in the thyroid area of this 55-year-old woman who had mantle field radiation for a childhood cancer?
A 55-year-old woman comes to your office and tells you that she has been worried about a “lump in her throat” for the past 3 months. You examine her neck and find a firm mobile nodule (1-cm in diameter) in the thyroid area.
The patient has a history of mantle field radiation for a childhood cancer. Her TSH level is normal. You refer her for ultrasonography, which shows a 1.2-cm hypoechoic solid nodule.
What would you recommend as the next step?
