Overview

Patients with toxic adenomas typically present with signs and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. 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 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

History

Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient of toxic adenoma include:

  • Possibility of recent iodide exposure—in the form of (can provoke transient thyrotoxicosis in a pre-existing toxic nodule)
    • Medication (e.g., amiodarone)
    • Radiocontrast dye
    • Dietary supplements
