Thyroid swelling.
We observed slight swelling at neck near tyroid.thereis no pain and no discomfort what so ever. we did neck ultrasound for my mother and reports says
"enlarged right lobe with large thin walled cystic lesson of size 2.1x2.9x1.8 cm volume 5.8 cc, lesson have dense internal echoes and echogenic debri 1.5x2.7cm within. No demonstrable vascularity noted within the lesson.---likely to represent benign lesson, probably colloid cyst".Adviced for FNAC.
Should we go for FNAC test for further analysis or should we take some time and see is that swelling goes off by itself? please suggest. Thanks

She seems to be having cystic nodular swelling of the right thyroid lobe. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is mandatory in such swelling to rule out malignancy. Also thyroid function tests are also done. Treatment depends on identifying pathological diagnosis. This condition is unlikely to to resolve on its own
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT and head and neck surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
