Nodules in the thyroid gland are also differentiated into simple and complex. Those filled with only serous fluid are termed as simple nodules. These can be big or small in size and arise suddenly. Bumps that consist of both fluid and solid components are referred to as complex nodules. Unles...
Thyroid cysts, also known as thyroid nodules, are small sacs filled with fluid or blood that grow on the thyroid. These sacs can also be filled with solid matter, which is sometimes an indicator of thyroid cancer. The thyroid is an endocrine gland located at the bottom of a person’s ...

Using NGS, a total of 592 mutations were identified among 31 genes by analyzing both PTC tissues and benign nodules. The mutations were spread across 13 driver genes (e.g., BRAF, RET, TP53) and 18 non-driver genes (e.g., CHEK2, ATM, BRCA1), identifying mutations in BRAF (i.e.,...
Pictures of Hyperthyroidism Figure 1 Above:Radioactive iodine scan of a patient with toxic multinodular goiter. Note the patchy and darker appearance of the nodules that are producing excess amounts of thyroid hormone. Compare this to the normal scan shown in Figure 3. ...
Clinical pictures can be different even when the same variant occurs, suggesting that other genetic and/or epigenetic factors may play a role in determining the patient's phenotype. Differentiating RTH尾 from a TSH-secreting pituitary tumour is very difficult, especially when a concomitant pituitary ...
The current primary initial diagnostic method is ultrasound examination, while percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy (PFNA) is gold standard to distinguish benignant and malignancy-correlated thyroid nodules [4]. However, PFNA is overly dependent on the diagnosis level of pathologists and greatly ...
