Overview
The incidence of thyroid adenoma is estimated to be 9 million cases annually in the United States. Females are more commonly affected with thyroid adenoma than males.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of thyroid nodule is estimated to be 9 million per year in Unites States.[1]
- The incidence of thyroid adenoma is approximately 3000 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1][2]
Case Fatality Rate
- Thyroid adenoma is a benign non life threatening condition.
Age
- Thyroid adenoma commonly affects individuals older than 50 years of age.
Gender
- Females are more commonly affected by thyroid adenoma than males. The female to males ratio is approximately 6 to 1.
