== Overview ==
A '''thyroid adenoma''', or '''solitary thyroid nodule''' is a [[benign tumor]] of the [[thyroid]] gland. A thyroid adenoma is distinguished from a [[goitre|multinodular goiter]] of the thyroid in that an adenoma is typically solitary, and is a [[neoplasm]] resulting from a genetic [[mutation]] (or other genetic abnormality) in a single precursor cell.<ref name="robbins">{{cite book |author=Ramzi Cotran, Vinay Kumar, Tucker Collins |title=Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, 6th Edition |year=1999 |publisher=W.B. Saunders |isbn=072167335X |pages=}}</ref> In contrast, a multinodular goiter is usually thought to result from a [[hyperplasia|hyperplastic]] response of the entire thyroid gland to a stimulus, such as [[iodine deficiency]]. A thyroid adenoma may be clinically silent, or it may be a "functional" tumor, producing excessive [[thyroid hormone]]. In this case, it may result in symptomatic [[hyperthyroidism]], and may be referred to as a ''toxic'' thyroid adenoma. Careful [[pathology|pathological]] examination may be necessary to distinguish a thyroid adenoma from a minimally invasive [[thyroid cancer|follicular thyroid carcinoma]].<ref name="robbins"/>
