Overview

Patients with toxic adenomas typically present with signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Common symptoms include fatigue, unintentional weight loss, heat intolerance, diaphoresis, palpitations, anxiety, and nervousness. Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient of toxic adenoma include the possibility of recent iodide exposure in any form that can provoke transient thyrotoxicosis in a pre-existing toxic nodule such as medication (e.g., amiodarone), radiocontrast dye, dietary supplements.
