This is suggestive of thyroid neoplasm, in FNAC test you can’t differentiate between thyroid follicular cancer and non malignant follicular growth . So treatment will be thyroid surgery , no other treatment possible. This could be a full thyroid removal surgery in a single operation (usually done ) or first partial removal of thyroid followed by full removal of cancer is proven . In your case please share with me the thyroid profile blood reports T3,T4 TSH report which you have taken , that will help me say when you need to undergo surgery . Also if u have current TSH report please share that too . If USG neck available please attach that report too .

Next Steps

Surgery is the treatment, no other treatments possible . Please share thyroid blood reports based on that can tell when surge should be planned . Please attach your USG neck report also .

Health Tips

No need to worry , even if it is proven to be cancer , this is a cancer with excellent prognosis at your age .With no or minimum effect of your quality of life .
