Ultrasonography with FNAC.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, an elucidate history which I have gone through.
The question is short and specific, hence the answer is also short and specific.

The best alternative is as follows:
Ultrasonography and guided FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology. This can give proper diagnosis in most of the cases.

I hope, this answers your query. Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is gap of communication.
