Thyroid neoplasm is a neoplasm or tumor of the thyroid. It can be a benign tumor such as thyroid adenoma,[1] or it can be a malignant neoplasm (thyroid cancer), such as papillary, follicular, medullary or anaplastic thyroid cancer.[2] Most patients are 25 to 65 years of age when first diagnosed; women are more affected than men.[2][3] The estimated number of new cases of thyroid cancer in the United States in 2023 is 43,720 compared to only 2,120 deaths.[4] Of all thyroid nodules discovered, only about 5 percent are cancerous, and under 3 percent of those result in fatalities.
