Thyroid nodules

Thyroid nodules are lumps or growths that develop within the thyroid gland. Most thyroid nodules are benign (non-cancerous) and do not cause symptoms. While the majority of thyroid nodules are harmless, some may cause symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or visible neck swelling. Diagnosis of thyroid nodules typically involves imaging tests such as ultrasound, along with fine-needle aspiration biopsy to determine whether the nodule is benign or cancerous.
