What does it mean to have a cyst on the right pole of thyroid?
When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. The Mayo Clinic says it's not clear why a thyroid adenoma occurs but it is a type of growth that isn't cancerous. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.
Why is your thyroid enlarged?
Sometimes the thyroid can become enlarged due to a goiter, a thyroid nodule, or a thyroid adenoma. A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland. A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. And when there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma.
What is a preoperative diagnostic?
A preoperative diagnostic is a test that distinguishes benign from malignant thyroid carcinoma based on gene expression. Accurate diagnosis of thyroid tumors is challenging. A particular problem is distinguishing between follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and benign follicular thyroid adenoma. This test helps with the accuracy.
What organs can an adenoma tumor grow from?
An adenoma tumor is a glandular tumor. It can therefore grow from the prostate, thyroid, pituitary glands and the adrenal glands among others. Although initially benign it can become malignant over time.
What is the difference between a fluid- filled nodule and solid nodule?
A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Nodules can be caused by a simple overgrowth of normal thyroid tissue, fluid-filled cysts, inflammation, or a tumor. When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.
What is Parathyroid adenoma?
The parathyroid glands are small tissues that lie on either side of the thyroid gland. Unlike the thyroid's role in energy metabolism, the parathyroids are only involved in calcium regulation within the body. An adenoma (cancerous tissue) on this gland may cause an over-production of parathyroid hormones and alter calcium levels, which generally requires surgical removal of the glands.
What is the medical term meaning thyroid poisoning?
Thyrotoxicosis describes an abnormally high functioning thyroid that is causing toxic effects.
Why is benign thyroid disease so important to treat?
A benign thyroid condition is important to treat because it can still impact the overall health and function of the thyroid gland. There might also be a root cause as to why there is the benign condition. As long as a goiter, thyroid nodule, or thyroid adenoma are benign, not growing or causing symptoms such as a cough or difficulty to swallow or breathe, it will be monitored through diagnostic testing and ultrasounds.
What prevents iodine absorption?
The thyroid naturally absorbs iodine as part of the synthesis process in storing, andsecreting, thyroid hormone into the body. After this process is complete, leftover iodine getsabsorbed by other body tissues and flushed out of the body through urination. One reason that can prevent iodine from being absorbed properly is if there is a growth in the thyroid gland.Related Article: What Is a Thyroid Adenoma?

What is hyperparathyroidism?
Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs as a malfunction of one of the four parathyroid glands which are located in the neck, behind the thyroid gland, usually as a result of a benign tumor, called adenoma.
What causes most cases of hyperparathyroidism?
About 90% of all cases of hyperparathyroidism are caused by an adenoma in one or more of the four parathyroid glands situated behind the thyroid gland in the neck.
