Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hello, I'm new to the group. A few months back I was seeing an Endo to help me understand why my blood pressure was dropping, my cortisol levels are reversed and I'm exhausted all the time. I didn't get answers but he did find a nodule and do a biopsy. Here are the results: " Cellular aspirate compatible with follicular neoplasm. The aspirate smears and thinprep slide consist of scant colloid and numerous groups and syncytia of cohesive, relatively uniform follicular cells with occasional overlapping nuclei and small nucleoli. There is a vague suggestion of microfollicles. Features of papillary carcinoma arfe not recognized. The differential diagnosis is between follicular adenoma and follicular carcinoma, although a hyperplastic nodule cannot be completely excluded. " Written on the form was " Doesn't show cancer, but entire nodule needs to be evaluated to be sure. Left thyroid lobe will need to be removed. " Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? I'm trying to understand these results and decide what to do. Thanks for any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
