Question

I'm a 30-year-old woman with a neck lump that's been there for a while. The ENT at RML Hospital did tests thyroid profile and anti-TPO were normal, but the ultrasound showed a 26x38 mm echogenic nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC came back as Atypical/Suspicious Follicular Neoplasm, Bethesda Grade IV. The doctor recommended surgery, but I really want to avoid it if possible since I'm the only earner in my family and cost is a big concern. What are my options? Should I get a second opinion at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital?

Question

I'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?
