Generally most thyroid nodules are biopsied if they

++
++
C. are between 1 and 2 mm or larger
++
++
D. are palpated and felt to be benign
++
++
E. cause cosmetic deformity
++
++
++
++
++
++
A. are vascularized by the superior thyroid artery
++
++
B. are in the mediastinum
++
++
C. are close to or on the thyroid gland
++
++
D. are often found to be adenomatous at thyroid surgery
++
++
E. are removed and autotransplanted at surgery
++
++
++
++
++
++
A. prognosis is worse in the young adult
++

B. is associated with frequent nodal metastasis at presentation
++
++
C. is associated with capsular invasion
++
++
D. is typically associated with C-cell hyperplasia
++
++
E. cannot occur in the pyramidal lobe
++
++
++
++
++
++
A. may be associated with RET oncogene mutation
++
++
++
++
C. result in decrease of calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
++
++
D. never spread to liver or lung
++
++
E. are always associated with parathyroid disease
++
++
++
++
++
++
A. is associated with focal increased uptake in the thyroid
++

B. can be managed with surgery
++
++
C. cannot usually be treated with radioactive iodine
++
++
