It is a mistake. The isthmus of the thyroid gland is a thin bridge across the trachea, linking the right and left lobes.

A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Nodules can be caused by a simple overgrowth of normal thyroid tissue, fluid-filled cysts, inflammation, or a tumor.

Usually they don't make a big deal of thyroid cysts with colloid cells when I'm at the hospital.
