Thyroid cysts are nodules filled with fluid. They can be small or large. If a nodule has both solid and fluid parts, it is called a complex nodule, and need to be removed if they cause pain or difficulty when swallowing.

What does it mean if they find hot nodules after doing a thyroid scan uptake?
After performing a thyroid scan uptake, if it is determined that there is a hot nodule it typically means that the nodule is hyperfuncitioning. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists ThyroidAwareness.com website, "The scan tells whether the nodule is hyperfunctioning (a "hot" nodule), or taking up more radioactivity than normal thyroid tissue does; taking up the same amount as normal tissue (a "warm" nodule); or taking up less (a "cold" nodule). Because cancer is rarely found in hot nodules, a scan showing a hot nodule eliminates the need for fine needle biopsy. If a hot nodule causes hyperthyroidism, it can be treated with radioiodine or surgery."
