What is a solid nodule of thyroid cyst

I wonder how many of you know about thyroid cystic solid nodules, this long and difficult to pronounce term. When you first hear this, do you think this disease is very dangerous? In fact, it is not what everyone thinks. Today, we have collected relevant information to introduce to you what thyroid cyst solid nodules are and what their symptoms are!

What are cystic and solid nodules of the gland? What are the symptoms of thyroid cystic nodules? We learned from the outpatient visits to Jinan Thyroid Hospital that as people's living and health standards continue to improve, the issue of thyroid is receiving more and more attention. The cause of multiple cystic and solid nodules in the thyroid is generally simple goiter or compensatory thyroid enlargement, which is normally not accompanied by changes in thyroid function. Therefore, the causes of these diseases are mostly due to iodine deficiency, which leads to goiter substances or congenital thyroid hormone synthesis disorders.

What are the symptoms of multiple cystic and solid nodules of the thyroid? The first thing to introduce is sporadic goiter, which often occurs during adolescence, pregnancy or lactation. Another cause is endemic goiter. This is because some goiters have a local epidemic history, so the age of onset is relatively early. Giant and multinodular goiters also occur at an earlier age, so there is a high possibility of compression symptoms or development into the mediastinum.

Some thyroid adenomas may become cancerous, with a canceration rate of 10% to 20%. The possibility of cancer should be considered in the following situations: the tumor is very hard; the tumor movement is limited or fixed; hoarseness occurs; ultrasound reveals abnormally enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Suggestions: Because thyroid tumors have the possibility of malignant transformation (the incidence rate is about 10% to 20%), those who suspect they have adenoma should consider surgical resection. Surgery is the only effective treatment. If the adenoma is large, subtotal thyroidectomy can be considered; if the adenoma is small, partial thyroidectomy can be performed. The resected specimen should be immediately subjected to frozen section pathological examination to determine whether it has malignant transformation.

Although solid nodules of thyroid cysts are not scary, we should not take it lightly. As mentioned in the article, solid nodules of thyroid cysts still have the possibility of becoming cancerous. When facing this disease, we should seek medical treatment in time. The treatment of thyroid cystic nodules should not be delayed due to momentary negligence.
