When thyroid nodules are filled with fluid, they are called “cystic” or “thyroid cysts.” About 15 to 25% of all thyroid nodules are thyroid cysts.If thyroid nodules are primarily filled with fluid and do not have a solid component, they are likely to be benign. However, if they are partially filled with fluid and have a solid part, the likelihood of them being cancerous increases. One such example of thyroid cancer that might present with cysts is the “papillary carcinoma.” These types of cystic nodules must be biopsies to make sure they are not cancer.

I recently had the opportunity to experience the Fibroid Center's exceptional care, and I feel compelled to share my positive experience. I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere the moment I walked into the centre, which immediately put me at ease.
