Hello welcome to the health care magic
In such case clinical correlation is necessary and investigate with USG scan of thyroid
Your serum TSH, T4 estimation also should be done
And your FNAC report shows colloid in background in studied slide so chances of malignancy not there
It is Benign condition of thyroid gland
But here adequate material not present for follicular cells, so if needed repeat FNAC can be done or biopsy will be beneficial
Hope your concern solved
