A 45-year-old woman presents with a lump in her neck, first noticed by her husband a week ago

A 45-year-old woman presents with a lump in her neck, first noticed by her husband a week ago. It is tender to touch. The mass moves when the patient takes a sip of water but does not move when she protrudes her tongue. Upon reviewing her notes, you notice that she has attended the General Practitioner (GP) several times in the past few months with intractable diarrhoea, despite conservative and medical therapy. She denies any sweating, tremor, palpitations or hyperactivity. She has lost weight and generally feels unwell in herself.
