Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands Presents the chemistry, synthesis, and secretion of thyroid hormones. Covers hamburger thyrotoxicosis, pregnancy, fetal development, and sodium-iodide. [dmoztools.net]
Thyroid cancer often presents without symptoms and just causes a goiter or nodules that usually will not impact the thyroid's function or cause any pain in the early stages. [self.com]
When the normal amount of thyroid hormone is present to, the person is referred to as euthyroid. [news-medical.net]

Toxic nodular goiter or multinodular goiter. Hyperthyroidism caused by toxic nodular goiter is where one or more nodules of the thyroid becomes overactive. The overactive nodules actually act as benign thyroid tumours. [hon.ch]
Treatment with thyroid hormone replacement medication (levothyroxine) may be used to decrease the size of the goiter; surgery is needed if the goiter becomes too large and narrows the airway. [verywell.com]

Most thyroid nodules are identified on imaging studies performed for reasons unrelated to the thyroid gland (carotid duplex, CT scans of the neck or chest). Once a thyroid nodule is found, it should be evaluated to ensure that it is benign. [uofmhealth.org]
Thyroid Nodules A thyroid nodule is a small lump in the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodules are common. These nodules can be either a growth of thyroid tissue or a fluid-filled cyst, which forms a lump in the thyroid gland. [hormone.org]
What are thyroid nodules? A thyroid nodule (NAHD-yool) is a swelling in one section of the thyroid gland. The nodule may be solid or filled with fluid or blood. You may have just one thyroid nodule or many. [womenshealth.gov]
