Thyrocele

Thyrocele is a tumor of the thyroid gland.

A thyrocele is a cystic or solid formation in the thyroid tissue. The tumor can be benign (adenoma) or malignant (thyroid cancer).

Causes of thyrocele:

1. congenital defects in the development of the thyroid gland;

2. hormonal imbalance;

3. chronic inflammatory diseases of the thyroid gland;

4. radiation exposure in the neck area.

Symptoms of thyrocele:

1. sensation of a lump in the neck;

2. pain on palpation;

3. disturbances in swallowing and breathing due to compression of the trachea and esophagus by the tumor;

4. symptoms of hyper- or hypothyroidism.

Diagnosis of thyrocele includes palpation of the thyroid gland, ultrasound, scintigraphy, and puncture biopsy.

Treatment depends on the type, size and location of the tumor. Surgical removal of the tumor (thyroidectomy), radioiodine therapy, and hormone therapy are used.

With timely detection and adequate treatment, the prognosis for benign forms of thyrocele is favorable. Malignant tumors can recur and give distant metastases.

Thyrocele: Tumor of the thyroid gland

A thyrocele, also known as a goiter, is a tumor associated with the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is an important organ of the endocrine system, which plays a key role in the regulation of metabolism and the functioning of the body as a whole. When the normal functioning of the thyroid gland is disrupted, various pathologies can occur, including thyrocele.

Thyrocele occurs as a result of an abnormal increase in the volume of the thyroid gland, which leads to the formation of a tumor. It may be filled with fluid, blood, or tissue. Thyrocele usually develops due to iodine deficiency, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Lack of iodine can lead to an increase in the size of the gland and tumor formation.

Symptoms of a thyrocele can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. Some patients may experience a globular sensation in the throat, difficulty swallowing, a change in voice, or even shortness of breath. In some cases, thyrocele may be accompanied by pain and discomfort in the thyroid gland.

Various tests are performed to diagnose a thyrocele, including ultrasound, CT scan, biopsy and blood tests. This allows you to determine the size of the tumor, its characteristics and exclude the presence of malignant changes.

Treatment of thyrocele may include conservative methods or surgery. In some cases, with a small tumor and no symptoms, observation and control may be sufficient. However, if the thyrocele causes significant discomfort or is cancerous, surgical removal of the tumor may be necessary.

In conclusion, thyrocele is a tumor of the thyroid gland that can occur due to iodine deficiency. It can lead to various symptoms related to pressure on surrounding tissues and organs. To diagnose and treat thyrocele, you need to consult an endocrinologist who will conduct appropriate research and propose the most effective strategy for managing this condition.

Thyrocoels are a benign tumor structure or cystic formation arising from cells of the thyroid parenchyma that fill an adjacent or, less commonly, partially contained thyroid cyst, forming a cavity in the tissue of the organ. It is observed in people of all ages. The source of its formation is the follicles of the thyroid glands. It develops both sporadically and secondary to inflammatory diseases and toxic effects (for example, with diffuse toxic goiter, exposure to radioactive isotopes, etc.).
