A 45-year-old female presents for a routine physical exam. On palpation, a 2.5 cm firm, non-tender thyroid nodule is noted. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is within normal limits. What is the most appropriate next step in the evaluation of this nodule?
✓ Correct Answer: Option D
For euthyroid thyroid nodules greater than 1 cm, especially those with suspicious ultrasound features or rapid growth, FNA biopsy is the most appropriate next step to assess for malignancy.
