What is a gastric nodule?
The term ' nodule ' means a knot-like, small solid lump of tissue which may occur anywhere in the body, accordingly a gastric nodule is a nodule found inside the stomach. The term ' nodule ' itself does not reveal anything about the nature of the lump. The best way is to consult a general surgeon as soon as possible. Surgery may be necessary to get rid of it and further to find out whether it is malignant or benign by means of biopsy.
Why would I need a thyroid biopsy?
The test is generally performed when a lump or a nodule is detected in the thyroid. The test may also be ordered if the thyroid gland is enlarged and the cause is not apparent. The biopsy is usually a test for thyroid cancer.
What does it mean if they find hot nodules after doing a thyroid scan uptake?
After performing a thyroid scan uptake, if it is determined that there is a hot nodule it typically means that the nodule is hyperfuncitioning. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists ThyroidAwareness.com website, "The scan tells whether the nodule is hyperfunctioning (a "hot" nodule), or taking up more radioactivity than normal thyroid tissue does; taking up the same amount as normal tissue (a "warm" nodule); or taking up less (a "cold" nodule). Because cancer is rarely found in hot nodules, a scan showing a hot nodule eliminates the need for fine needle biopsy. If a hot nodule causes hyperthyroidism, it can be treated with radioiodine or surgery."
How can a benign nodule on the thyroid be removed?
I only know my own experience. I had a longstanding nodule that tripled in size relatively quickly to 1.5 centimeter. I had to wait six weeks for a biopsy. I had an ultrasound performed in order to locate the nodule and it was gone. It's very, very weird (especially with what I was expecting). The doctor was very surprised but it obviously happens.
Is a hyperplastic adenomatoid colloid nodule and a follicular neoplasm most likely a follicular adenoma could this be cancer?
Hyperplastic adenomatoid colloid nodules lack a fibrous capsule. The colloid nodule and the neoplasm can be cancerous, but they are slow growing. Doppler and a fine needle biopsy will show whether these growths are cancerous.
Can a fine needle aspiration case the cancer to metastasize?
To acquire a sampling of the cells in a thyroid nodule, an endocrinologist or a radiologist will need to perform a fine needle biopsy. The cells extracted will then be evaluated by a pathologist to determine if the growth is benign or malignant, and if surgery is needed. As for a fine needle biopsy will cause thyroid cancer to metastasize, talk to your doctor.Related Article: How to Prepare for a Needle Biopsy
What is an apical pulmonary nodule?
A lung nodule is a node that can be from infection, scar tissue or tumor. Depending on the size, shape and character of the nodule we determine the likelihood of cancer. If we cannot rule the possibility of lung cancer, a larger nodule (or mass) may be biopsied either using a bronchoscope by a lung doctor, or a needle biopsy under CT guidance by a radiologist for diagnosis in the least invasive way although there is a small chance of collapsing the lung.
Hypodensity in right lobe of thyroid what is hypodensity.?
The prefix hypo- means that something is below or under the threshold of normalcy. So, hypodensity means that there is an area that appears more diffused when looked at in an x-ray. A hypodensity of the thyroid usually indicates the appearance of a nodule in the thyroid. A needle biopsy is usually performed to determine the status of the nodule.
