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 COMPLEX SOLID NODULE IN THYROID?
A complex solid nodule in the thyroid is a type of thyroid nodule that contains both solid and cystic (fluid-filled) components. These nodules can vary in size and may be benign or malignant.

Regular monitoring may be recommended, especially if the nodule exhibits suspicious features.

What is a ground glass nodule?
A ground glass nodule (GGN) is a type of lung nodule that appears as a hazy, translucent area on a CT scan, indicating partial solid or fluid-filled tissue. GGNs can be associated with various conditions, including infections, inflammation, or early-stage lung cancer. They are typically categorized as either stable or changing in appearance over time, which helps determine the underlying cause and the need for further evaluation or treatment. Monitoring is often recommended, especially if the nodule displays certain characteristics suggestive of malignancy.
