A nodule is a small mass of tissue which forms in or on the body, usually in response to injuries. Nodules are typically hard and they can be easily felt. For the most part, the masses are benign, requiring no medical action, but sometimes they can interfere with the function of the body, or they may be malignant.
My endocrinologist said I had two nodules, and one was considered quite large at 1.3 centimeters. A thyroid nodule is a growth of thyroid cells that gravitate into a lump within one of the lobes of the thyroid. They can be either solid or filled with fluid (cystic). Most thyroid nodules are benign. However, the doctor created further worry on my part by stating that it had uneven edges, which meant the risk for cancer was higher. Instead of a 5-10% risk of cancer, it was 10-15%.
