Adenoma Fetal

Adenoma fetalis, also known as embryonal follicular adenoma, is a benign tumor that is usually found in a fetus or newborn child. This tumor develops from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland and usually ranges in size from a few millimeters to 2-3 centimeters.

Fetal adenoma is quite rare and accounts for less than 1% of all thyroid tumors. It may be discovered incidentally during an ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland in pregnant women or during examination of newborns.

Typically, fetal adenoma does not cause any symptoms and does not require treatment. However, in rare cases, it can continue to grow and cause thyroid dysfunction, which can lead to the child developing hypothyroidism.

Diagnosis of fetal adenoma is based on ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland. A tumor biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment of fetal adenoma may include monitoring the tumor if it does not cause thyroid dysfunction. If thyroid function is impaired, surgical removal of the tumor may be required.

Thus, fetal adenoma is a rare benign tumor formation that can be found in a fetus or newborn. Although it usually causes no symptoms and does not require treatment, in rare cases it can cause thyroid dysfunction. Diagnosis of fetal adenoma is based on ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland, and treatment may include observation or removal of the tumor, depending on its size and the presence of thyroid dysfunction.



Fetal gland adenoma is a rare neoplasm that affects the ostia of the convoluted tubules of the kidney (Henle tubules). Pathology can occur at any age, but is more often diagnosed in women 20–40 years old. The tumor is named after the fetal glands and is formed in utero. Develops from parafollicular cells or collecting duct cells. The neoplasm leads to disruption of the excretory function of the kidney. Open surgeries are used for treatment, but the prevalence of the tumor is high and the prognosis is unfavorable.

An adenoma is a benign tumor that gradually grows and can progress. Patients with fetal adenoma most often note that the tumor appeared in the bladder or kidneys. In some cases, the tumor occurs on the intestinal wall. Adenoma can be detected quite quickly due to its aggressive growth. There are several types of this tumor, including oncocytic and isocapillary tumors. The former have a smooth cell structure, while the latter have an epithelial or mixed structure.
