Histopathology of a colloid nodule of the thyroid, showing dilated thyroid follicles. There is some reactive fibrosis (at right) but no consistent capsule.
Colloid nodules, also known as adenomatous nodules[1] or colloid nodular goiter[2] are benign, noncancerous enlargement of thyroid tissue.[3] Although they may grow large, and there may be more than one, they are not malignant and they will not spread beyond the thyroid gland. Colloid nodules are the most common kind of thyroid nodule.[4]
