nodule - (mineralogy) a small rounded lump of mineral substance (usually harder than the surrounding rock or sediment) mineralogy - the branch of geology that studies minerals: their structure and properties and the ways of distinguishing them.
My endocrinologist said I had two nodules, and one was considered quite large at 1.3 centimeters. A thyroid nodule is a growth of thyroid cells that gravitate into a lump within one of the lobes of the thyroid. They can be either solid or filled with fluid (cystic). Most thyroid nodules are benign. However, the doctor created further worry on my part by stating that it had uneven edges, which meant the risk for cancer was higher. Instead of a 5-10% risk of cancer, it was 10-15%.
