Overview
A toxic adenoma is a benign monoclonal tumor consisting of thyroid follicular cells, which produce excessive amounts of T 3 and/or T 4. In toxic adenomas, the excessive thyroid hormone autonomously produced can suppress the function of remaining thyroid tissue. Thus thyroid hormone production is no longer controlled by the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-thyroid axis, leading to thyroid hormone excess and the resulting clinical symptoms, signs, and potential complications.
