 It all depends of the type of the nodule:

  •  benign nodule confirmed by cytology relates to medical treatment in relation to the hormonal balance 
  • malignant nodule relates to surgery and/or irra-therapy

thyroid nodule is either a dominant nodule in MNG or a STN. Neck U/S is required to assert the condition being either. The former is treated in same way as MNG; follow up and TSH supressive does of L-troxin. While the latter requires the patient has a FNBC. Further management depends on the result of the cytology. Whereas, beniegn lesions are followed up and papillary cancer is reserved for surgery or radioactive iodine.
