A thyroid remnant refers to any remaining thyroid tissue after a portion of the thyroid gland has been surgically removed, often due to conditions such as thyroid cancer or hyperthyroidism. Even small amounts of thyroid remnant can produce thyroid hormones, which can complicate postoperative management and monitoring. In some cases, remnants may require further treatment, such as radioactive iodine therapy, to ensure complete ablation of thyroid tissue. Monitoring thyroid hormone levels is essential to assess the function of any remaining tissue.
