Episode 65: Thyroid Lumps | The Good, The Bad, And The Nodules - Part One

This Medical Life

Thyroid lumps have always been with us. Often referred to as goitres (interpreted from Latin to mean neck swelling), numerous ancient medical sources mention these and how to manage them.

However, it has only been with modern medicine and investigations that we can distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. In this episode, we examine the investigations, diagnosis, management and prognosis of thyroid lumps.

This is part one of the story of Thyroid lumps.
