Thyroid Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A thyroid tumor is a growth of tissue in the thyroid gland, located in the front part of the neck. These growths can be benign or require further study, and not all of them involve a change in how the gland works.
How it is detected: it is often discovered as a lump in the neck or incidentally during an exam.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist evaluates how the gland behaves, while the general surgeon and the oncologist take part depending on the characteristics of the growth; the general practitioner usually guides the first visit. If you notice a lump or changes in your neck, seeing a professional allows the situation to be clarified calmly.
