Thyroid Nodule
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeing an endocrinologist is the usual step when a thyroid nodule is detected, since this is the specialist who evaluates the function and characteristics of the thyroid gland.
A thyroid nodule is a growth or lump that appears within the thyroid, the gland located at the front of the neck. Most are benign findings discovered during routine checkups.
How it presents: It often causes no discomfort and is identified when the neck is palpated or through imaging studies; in some cases a lump may be noticed.
When to seek care? If you notice a lump in the neck, changes in the voice, or difficulty swallowing, it is worth requesting an evaluation. In addition to the endocrinologist, the general surgeon or the oncologist may be involved depending on the result of the tissue study.
