Overview
Causes
- Causes of benign thyroid nodule:
- Multinodular (sporadic) goiter ("colloid adenoma")
- Hashimoto's (chronic lymphocytic) thyroiditis
- Cysts (colloid, simple, or hemorrhagic)
- Follicular adenomas
- Macrofollicular adenomas
- Microfollicular or cellular adenomas
- Hürthle cell (oxyphil cell) adenomas
- Macro- or microfollicular patterns
- Causes of malignant nodule mutations:
- Childhood radioiodine exposure
- Familial history
- The most important genes that can cause thyroid cancer include:
- N&H ras
- RET
- Gsp
- C-MET (α and β subunit)
- TRK
- EGF / EGF-R
- P53
