Thyroid biopsy results
Benign
The nodule is noncancerous. About 70% of all thyroid biopsy results come back as benign.
Malignant
The nodule is cancerous. About 3% to 7% of all thyroid biopsy results come back as malignant.
Suspicious
There’s a 60% to 75% chance that the nodule is cancerous.
Atypia of undetermined significance (AUS)
The nodule has both benign and malignant characteristics. About 5% to 15% of these nodules are cancerous.
Follicular neoplasm
It’s hard to tell if the nodule is benign or cancerous unless surgically removed. About 15% to 30% of these nodules are cancerous.
Non-diagnostic
This result means that there aren’t enough cells in the sample to make a reliable diagnosis.

What happens during a urinalysis?

In most cases, you’ll provide a pee sample at your healthcare provider’s office or at a laboratory using the “clean catch” method. You or your healthcare provider can also collect a urine sample using a catheter (thin tube).

Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy

For the clean catch method, your provider will give you a specimen cup, sterile wipes and specific instructions for collecting your urine sample. Your provider will tell you what to do with your sample after you’ve collected it. It’s important to wash your hands with soap and water before you collect the sample.

Collecting a clean catch urine sample if you have labia

If you have labia, collect your pee with the following steps:

  1. Start by sitting on the toilet with your legs spread apart.
  2. Using two fingers, spread your labia open. Use one sterile wipe to clean the inner folds of your labia, wiping from front to back.
  3. Use another sterile wipe to clean the opening to your urethra, where pee flows out of your body.
  4. Pee a small amount into the toilet.
  5. Stop the flow of pee and hold the specimen cup a few inches away from your urethra.
  6. Pee into the cup until it’s about halfway full or to the amount your provider recommends. It’s OK if you can’t fill it quite to halfway.
  7. Finish peeing into the toilet (if you need to).

Collecting a clean catch urine sample if you have a penis

If you have a penis, collect your pee with the following steps:

  1. Use a sterile wipe to clean the head of your penis. If your penis is uncircumcised, first pull back your foreskin to ensure a thorough cleaning.
  2. Pee a small amount into the toilet.
  3. Stop the flow of pee and hold the specimen cup below your penis.
  4. Pee into the cup until it’s about halfway full or to the amount your provider recommends. It’s OK if you can’t fill it quite to halfway.
  5. Finish peeing into the toilet (if you need to).
