How is child thyroid disease caused?

Hyperthyroidism and enlargement of the thyroid texture is soft, palpation may have tremor, may hear "humming" like vascular murmur, is the result of vascular increase, thickening, blood flow growth. Simple goiter has prominent glandular enlargement, which can be diffuse or nodular, without signs of hyperthyroidism.

Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) is characterized by diffuse or nodular enlargement, which is easily confused with thyroid cancer. Because the swollen inflammatory gland can push the common carotid artery to the rear, the common carotid artery pulsation can be felt at the posterior edge of the gland, while thyroid cancer often surrounds the common carotid artery in the cancer tissue, and the common carotid artery pulsation can not be felt during palpation, so it can be used for identification.

When palpating thyroid cancer, the mass may be nodular, irregular and hard. Because of its slow development and small size, it is easy to be confused with thyroid adenoma and anterior cervical lymph node enlargement. Parathyroid adenoma the parathyroid gland is located behind the thyroid gland. When the adenoma occurs, it can make the thyroid protrude and move with swallowing. It should be differentiated according to the clinical manifestations of hyperparathyroidism.
