. A 32-year-old woman has had a lump in her neck
for 6 months.
She has a 1.2-cm solitary left thyroid nodule.
Fine-needle aspiration
cytology of the mass is consistent with a low-grade
papillary malignancy.
Which of the following is the most appropriate next
step in management?

A
) Thyroid scan

B

C
) Propylthiouracil therapy

D

I agree with robin082006: it's E.
If a FNA is read as malignant or indeterminate, the best next step is to do a thyroid lobectomy.
