Hey guys I've been a long time reader of these forums and I have an odd situation and am seeking advice.
I noticed a lump in my neck and after seeing an ENT and such I have a thyroglossal duct cyst. They are benign 99% of the time. I was told I don't really have to do anything however the only treatment is to have it surgically removed.
Is this something I have to declare on a medical? would it be ok to just let it be in terms of getting a renewed medical? Or would an AME need to see it taken out since there's like a 1% chance it could be malignant? There's really no way to prove its benign except for surgery but it's rare is what they said. Thanks for thoughts and I prefer not to have the surgery as it'll leave a noticeable scar for everyone to see :/
