I have a biopsy scheduled tomorrow on a nodule that is 1.8 cm on my .3 cm isthmus. Can anyone relate to a nodule on your isthmus?
Also, is this considered big? I know it's solid with smooth margins and no calcification, so I'm very positive it is benign, but would this warrant an isthmusectomy? The wait is so nerve racking!

Hi, usually nodules with a diameter larger than 10 mm are considered sufficiently large to be investigated further.
Removing a benign nodule might be recommended if it causes you any problems e.g. while swallowing or if the nodule is gradually increasing in size.
Good luck with the procedure.
