A 3mm anechoic cyst of the thyroid is a small fluid-filled sac within the thyroid gland that appears dark or "anechoic" on ultrasound imaging due to the absence of internal echoes. These cysts are typically benign and often do not require treatment unless they cause symptoms or show signs of growth. The size of 3mm indicates that it is relatively small, and most anechoic cysts of this size are considered clinically insignificant. Regular monitoring may be recommended to ensure no changes occur over time.

What is a colloid cyst in the thyroid?

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.

What does it mean to have a cyst on the right pole of thyroid?

When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. The Mayo Clinic says it's not clear why a thyroid adenoma occurs but it is a type of growth that isn't cancerous. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.
