Overview
Thyroid adenoma must be differentiated from other thyroid disorders such as multinodular goiter, grave's disease, Hashimoto's disease, medullary thyroid carcinoma, De Quervain's thyroiditis, thyroid lymphoma, and acute suppurative thyroiditis.
Differentiating Thyroid adenoma from other Diseases
The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate thyroid adenoma from other conditions that cause neck swelling.[1]
| Disease | Findings |
|---|---|
| Multinodular goiter | Multinodular goiter is the multinodular enlargement of the thyroid gland. They are large nodules of more than 1 cm that produces symptoms of hyperthyroidism. |
| Grave's disease | Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. It frequently results in hyperthyroidism and an enlarged thyroid. Pretibial myxedema and ophthalmopathy are some of the findings of grave's disease. |
| Hashimoto's disease | Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is attacked by a variety of cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immune processes, causing primary hypothyroidism. |
| Medullary thyroid carcinoma | Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a form of thyroid carcinoma which originates from the parafollicular cells (C cells), which produce the hormone calcitonin. |
| Thyroid lymphoma | Thyroid lymphoma is a rare malignant tumor which manifests as rapidly enlarging neck mass causing respiratory difficulty. |
| De Quervain's thyroiditis | De Quervain's thyroiditis is a subacute granulomatous thyroiditis preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection. |
| Acute suppurative thyroiditis | Acute suppurative thyroiditis is an uncommon thyroid disorder usually caused by bacterial infection. |
