What is an adenoma?

An adenoma is a benign tumor arising from normal thyroid tissue. When tissue from an adenoma is examined under a microscope, it shows increased numbers of normal-appearing epithelial cells organized into uniform spherical follicles. Adenomas are benign. While they may continue to grow larger, they will not spread beyond the thyroid gland to other parts of the neck or other areas of the body.
