In cases of indeterminate lesions, some surgeons refer to a thyroid lobectomy as a diagnostic lobectomy because the main purpose of the operation is to make a diagnosis â cancer or benign thyroid disease. During the operation, the surgeon may send a frozen section biopsy. With a frozen section, the pathologist will look at one or two sections of the thyroid nodule in question while the patient is still in the operating room in order to see if there is a cancer present. If there is a clear-cut cancer, the surgeon will remove the other side of the thyroid as well.
