Overview
Differentiating Thyroid adenoma from other Diseases
The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate thyroid adenoma from other conditions that cause neck swelling.
| Disease | Findings |
|---|---|
| Multinodular goiter | Multinodular goiter is the multinodular enlargement of the thyroid gland. They are large nodules of more than 1 cm that produces symptoms of hyperthyroidism. |
| Grave's disease | Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. It frequently results in hyperthyroidism and an enlarged thyroid. Pretibial myxedema, and eye problems such as bulging, a condition known as Graves' ophthalmopathy are some of the findings of grave's disease. |
| Hashimoto's disease | Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is attacked by a variety of cell- and antibody-mediated immune processes, causing primary hypothyroidism |
| Medullary cell carcinoma | Medullary cell carcinoma is a form of thyroid carcinoma which originates from the parafollicular cells (C cells), which produce the hormone calcitonin. |
| Thyroid lymphoma | Thyroid lymphoma is a rare malignant tumor which manifests as rapidly enlarging neck mass causing respiratory difficulty. |
| De Quervain's thyroiditis | De Quervain's thyroiditis is a subacute granulomatous thyroiditis preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection. |
| Acute suppurative thyroiditis | Acute suppurative thyroiditis is an uncommon thyroid disorder usually caused by bacterial infection |
