    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Quervain's_thyroiditis

    The thyroid gland is extremely painful, rigid, and swollen, which can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. [2] Approximately half of affected adolescents and two-thirds of adults have widespread thyroid gland involvement. [3] [5] Thyroid nodules are seen in one-fourth of adult patients. [6] The surrounding skin is occasionally warm and erythematous.

  3. Thyroid nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_nodule

    Solitary thyroid nodules are more common in females yet more worrisome in males. Other associations with neoplastic nodules are family history of thyroid cancer and prior radiation to the head and neck. Solitary thyroid nodules are mostly benign colloid nodules. The second most common type is follicular adenoma. [25]

  4. Thyroid neoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_neoplasm

    Treatment of a thyroid nodule depends on many things including size of the nodule, age of the patient, the type of thyroid cancer, and whether or not it has spread to other tissues in the body. If the nodule is benign, patients may receive thyroxine therapy to suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone and should be reevaluated in six months. [2]

  5. Subacute thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacute_thyroiditis

    [4] [5] It can be distinguished from subacute granulomatous thyroiditis by lack of pain, presence of TPO or thyroglobulin (Tg) antibodies, and normal inflammatory markers. [4] [5] Fine needle aspiration (FNA) should be performed in patients who also have a thyroid nodule to rule out thyroid cancer. [5]

  7. Riedel's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riedel's_thyroiditis

    In case of Riedel's thyroiditis, fibrosis extends beyond the capsule and involves contiguous neck structures, clinically simulating thyroid carcinoma. There is a rapid thyroid enlargement. Compression of trachea, dysphagia are probable outcomes. Marked thyroid follicular cell atrophy confirms hypothyroidism.

  8. 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]

  9. Papillary thyroid cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillary_thyroid_cancer

    Papillary thyroid carcinoma is usually discovered on routine examination as an asymptomatic thyroid nodule that appears as a neck mass. In some instances, the mass may have produced local symptoms. This mass is normally referred to a fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) for investigation. FNA accuracy is very high and it is a process widely used ...
