Nódulo tiroideo: Qué es, causa y tratamiento

Learn all about thyroid nodules from Dr. Martha Esperanza Ramírez Martínez, a prominent head and neck surgeon and member of Top Doctors http://www.topdoctors.mx/doctor/marth... A thyroid nodule is an abnormal growth of thyroid cells, forming a tumor within the thyroid. Although the vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign (not cancerous), a small proportion of these nodules do contain thyroid cancer. Most thyroid nodules do not cause any symptoms. A doctor usually discovers them during a routine physical exam, or a person may notice a lump in the neck when looking in the mirror. The causes of thyroid nodules are unknown, but one of the most common causes is genetic or hereditary. What is known is that it occurs mostly in geographic areas where there is iodine deficiency.
