From what I know, nothing. They are usually benign when biopsied and can be removed if the thyroid colloid cyst grows so large (unusual) that it impairs swallowing or breathing. If you have other nodules that are malignant, they would probably take out the colloid cyst because there is a small change it could be malignant as well. Usually they don't make a big deal of thyroid cysts with colloid cells when I'm at the hospital.

A colloid cyst in the thyroid is a non-cancerous overgrowth of thyroid tissue. Colloid cysts do not grow beyond the thyroid gland and are benign.
