非造影CTでは腫瘤は高吸収に見えます。腫瘍は肝と比較し低吸収を呈したとのことだが、正常頸部甲状腺とは同様の吸収値だったのか。
提示画像に個人情報の一部が残っている。冠状断像の撮像phaseが記載されてない。CT画像が全体的にムラがあり、解像度も低い印象です。
なぜ良性腫瘍だったのに急激に増大が疑われるのか？一般的に増大傾向があるものなのか？
生検で良性で、症状がなければ経過観察でよいものなのか？
頸部甲状腺結節はUSのみで、生検なしに悪性度が低いと判断したのか？根拠が不明確である。

The tumor looks highly absorbed on the non-contrast CT image. It is said that the tumor showed lower absorption compared with the lever, but was it the same level of absorption as the one of the normal cervical thyroid?
A part of personal information is left on the presented photo image. The shooting phase is not recorded on the coronary section image. I have the impression that the CT image has unevenness overall and the resolution is also low.
Although the tumor has been benignus, is the sudden increase suspected? Does it have the trend to increase in general?
If it is benignus in biopsy and the patient shows no symptoms, would it be fine to just take a wait-and-see approach?
Was the cervical thyroid nodule only in US? If yes, that's why you decided it is not malignant? I am afraid the grounds have not been clarified.

Tumor appears to be highly absorbed in non-contrast CT.
It is said that the tumor showed lower absorption than the liver, but was the same absorption level as the normal cervical thyroid?
A part of personal information remains in the presented image. The imaging phase of the coronary image is not described. CT image is uneven overall, and it seems low resolution.
Why is a benign tumor suddenly suspected to expand? Is it generally tend to expand?
Is it acceptable to follow-up if it's benign in biopsy and there are no symptoms?
Did you conclude that the cervical thyroid nodule is only US and not malignant without biopsy?
The backgrounds are unclear.

I see the mass for high absorbance in the non-contrasting CT. Tumor seemed to present low absorption in comparison with the liver, but was it the absorption level that was similar to the normal neck thyroid gland?
A part of the personal information is left to the presentation image. Imaging phase of the coronal section image is not listed. A CT image is capricious generally, and resolution is a low impression.
Why is increase suddenly doubted though it was a benign tumor? Generally, is it the thing with the tendency to increase?
It is benign by biopsy, and is it the thing which the follow-up is enough for without a symptom?
Did the neck thyroid gland nodule judge that a malignancy was low without biopsy only in US? Grounds are uncertain.

The mass seems to be high absorbance on the non-contrast CT. Comparing a mass with a liver, it presented a low density. Was the absorption value is the same as that of normal neck thyroid?
The partial personal information is left on the shown image. The imaging phase of coronal image is not described. I think that CT imaging is lacking in uniformity totally and its resolution is low.
Even it was a benign tumor, why is the rapid growth distrusted? Is there a rising trend typically?
If biopsy is benign and there is no symptom, is it fine only WAW?
The neck thyroid node is determined that its grade is low without a biopsy only by US? The reason isn’t clear.
