一位42岁的妇女在她的脖子左侧有一个明显的肿块。她没有颈部疼痛，也没有甲状腺功能障碍的症状。体格检查发现一个孤立的、移动的甲状腺结节，2 cm × 3 cm，无淋巴结病。患者无甲状腺疾病家族史，无外照射史。应进行哪些调查？假设结节是良性的，如果有的话，应该推荐哪种治疗方法？
A 42-year-old woman presents with a palpable mass on the left side of her neck. She has no neck pain and no symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. Physical examination reveals a solitary, mobile thyroid nodule, 2 cm by 3 cm, without lymphadenopathy. The patient has no family history of thyroid disease and no history of external irradiation. Which investigations should be performed? Assuming that the nodule is benign, which, if any, treatment should be recommended?
