== [[Thyroid nodule historical perspective|Historical Perspective]] ==


'''Thyroid nodules''' are lumps which commonly arise within an otherwise normal [[thyroid gland]]. Often these abnormal growths of thyroid tissue are located at the edge of the [[thyroid gland]] so they can be felt as a lump in the throat. When they are large or when they occur in very thin individuals, they can even sometimes be seen as a lump in the front of the neck.
== [[Thyroid nodule classification|Classification]] ==


Thyroid nodules, are extremely common in young adults and children almost 50% of people have had one, but they are usually only detected by a GP during the course of a health examination, or through a different affliction.
== [[Thyroid nodule pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]] ==


Only a small percentage of lumps in the neck are malignant, and most thyroid nodules are benign.
== [[Thyroid nodule causes|Causes]] ==


There are many factors to consider when diagnosing a malignant lump.
== [[Thyroid nodule differential diagnosis|Differentiating Thyroid nodule from other Diseases]] ==


If the patient is a smoker, the chances of malignancy is considerably higher. Also if the [[esophagus]] is swollen, and swallowing is  nearly impossible you need to get checked out by a professional straight away.
