I'm a healthy adult woman but have diabetes. I started having right anterior neck discomfort which has evolve into very painful area with swelling. I was seen by MD who order US to rule out a DVT and also had thyroid US. Thyroid US showed enlarged thyroid with right lobe cyst with internal echoes. Can that cause the intense pain? What other tests should I get done?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.


You have enlarged thyroid. Your ultrasound thyroid report suggest right lobe cyst with internal echoes.

It can be simple cyst, cystic degeneration in goitre or cystic papillary carcinoma.

You should go for T3, T4 TSH level and FNAC thyroid gland. It will give you exact idea. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. if you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
