? Thyroid gland swelling ? Thyroglossal cyst Adv: TFT, USG NECK, FNAC
Nonspecific cervical adenitis Moving with swallowing probably adherence with thyroid lobes Second possibility lateral accessory thyroid nodules TFT and fnac will help in dx As no significant complaints except nodular swelling in neck Since pt feels compression on trachea or choking suggest either thyroid swelling or lymphadenopathy If usg and fnac are not conclusive go for biopsy
Nice presentation but have mention about weight gain, irregular periods, cold intolerance etc. Mostly a large MNG with a substernal extension with or without a hypothyroidism. T3 T4 TSH, USG neck and and FNAC atleast from 2 sites required. If an MNG sub total thyroidectomy is plan. In case if patient not willing a thyroid supression therapy can be advised for 6 months like a post op. Case of papillary CA thyroid treated. If the patient is hypothyroidsm and not having a malignant or colloid goitre, there is high chances the size will decrease with time.
