Small lump on neck, ULTRASOUND report. Need FNA?

Resolved Question:

Hi,
My mother is a CVA brain patient and is on statins/BP medicines/diabetics medicines and on Ecosprin.
Recently a small lump was identified on her neck and her endocrinologist suggested for the ultrasound.
Please find attached the report.Request you to please suggest what are the findings and do we need to do FNA procedure.
If yes,then do we need to stop ecosprin before this procedure.

Regards,
Shefali Chopra

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
You need to first check her thyroid function by doing TSH, T4 and T3. and Thyroid Antibodies, Anti-TPO Antibody test. Only then we can comment on the results and what management needs to be done.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.

There is nothing to worry. You can travel and get the test done thereafter. Most likely, she has thyroiditis, but has normal thyroid function and hence doesn't require any treatment immediately.
