Thyroid nodules are irregular in shape.

The irregular shape of thyroid nodules may be a manifestation of malignant tumors, or may be caused by benign diseases. Further examination or observation is needed to make a clear diagnosis and take corresponding treatment measures. The irregular shape of thyroid nodules may be a manifestation of malignant tumors, or may be caused by other benign diseases. Further examination or observation is needed. The following are the possible causes of irregular thyroid nodules: 1. Malignant tumor: thyroid cancer usually leads to irregular nodule shape, unclear margin, accompanied by microcalcification and other features. 2. Benign tumor: such as adenoma, nodular goiter, etc., may also make nodule shape irregular. 3. Hashimoto thyroiditis: can lead to diffuse thyroid disease, irregular nodules. 4. Other factors: For example, inflammation, bleeding, etc. may also affect the shape of the nodule. For patients who find irregular thyroid nodules, the doctor usually recommends the following examinations: 1. Fine needle aspiration biopsy: fine needle aspiration of nodule tissue for pathological examination to determine the nature of the nodule. 2. Thyroid function test: understand the functional status of the thyroid. 3. Neck ultrasound: Help assess the size, number, location, etc. of nodules. 4. Other examinations: such as radionuclide scans, CT, MRI, etc., depending on the specific circumstances. Treatment depends on the nature of the nodule and the specific conditions of the patient. Generally speaking: 1. For benign nodules and no obvious symptoms, regular review of ultrasound and thyroid function can be done. 2. If the nodule is suspected to be malignant or has obvious compression symptoms, surgery may be required. 3. For malignant nodules, surgery is usually required, combined with radioactive iodine therapy and thyroid hormone replacement therapy. It should be noted that the morphology of thyroid nodules is only one aspect of evaluating the nature of nodules. The final diagnosis needs to be combined with multiple examination results and the doctor's experience. If irregular thyroid nodules are found, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for further examination and treatment. In addition, for high-risk groups, such as women and those with a family history of thyroid cancer, more attention should be paid to thyroid health and regular screening should be conducted.
