  2. Thyroid nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_nodule

    An autonomous thyroid nodule or "hot nodule" is one that has thyroid function independent of the homeostatic control of the HPT axis (hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis). According to a 1993 article, such nodules need to be treated only if they become toxic; surgical excision (thyroidectomy), radioiodine therapy, or both may be used. [32]

  3. Thyroid adenoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_adenoma

    Thyroid follicular adenoma ranges in diameter from 3 cm on an average, but sometimes is larger (up to 10 cm) or smaller. The typical thyroid adenoma is solitary, spherical and encapsulated lesion that is well demarcated from the surrounding parenchyma. The color ranges from gray-white to red-brown, depending upon the cellularity of the adenoma

  4. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

    There are some notable differences in typical benign vs. cancerous thyroid nodules that can particularly be detected by the high-frequency sound waves in an ultrasound scan. The ultrasound may also locate nodules that are too small for a doctor to feel on a physical exam, and can demonstrate whether a nodule is primarily solid, liquid ( cystic ...

  5. Colloid nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid_nodule

    Colloid nodules may be initially identified as an unspecified kind of thyroid nodule. Follow-up examinations typically include an ultrasound if it is unclear whether or not there really is a nodule present. Once the presence of a nodule has been confirmed, the determination of the kind of thyroid nodule is done by fine needle aspiration biopsy. [7]

  6. Thyroglossal cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroglossal_cyst

    Thyroglossal cyst with papillary excrescences (magnified at right), where microscopy showed papillary thyroid cancer. Rarely (in less than 1% of cases), cancer may be present in a thyroglossal duct cyst. [6] These tumors are generally papillary thyroid carcinomas, [6] arising from the ectopic thyroid tissue within the cyst. [7] [8]

  7. Thyroid neoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_neoplasm

    Thyroid neoplasm is a neoplasm or tumor of the thyroid. It can be a benign tumor such as thyroid adenoma, [1] or it can be a malignant neoplasm (thyroid cancer), such as papillary, follicular, medullary or anaplastic thyroid cancer. [2] Most patients are 25 to 65 years of age when first diagnosed; women are more affected than men.
