Medical Conditions - Thyroid Follicular Adenoma

Thyroid follicular adenoma is a benign encapsulated tumor of the thyroid gland. It appears as a rubbery, homogenous, oval tissue surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule. It occurs due to the monoclonal expansion of thyroid follicular cells with high activating mutations in the gene for the TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) receptor. It is treated by thyroid lobectomy and isthmusectomy.
