About

Thyroid swellings and thyroid conditions are common clinical presentations. A lump in the thyroid could range from a simple benign pathology to autoimmune disorders to aggressive cancers. Likewise, patients can be asymptomatic or present with a variety of signs and symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism or compressive features in the neck.
