A thyroid nodule is a growth (lump) in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located at the base of the neck.
Thyroid nodules are growths of cells in the thyroid gland. These growths can be：
・Not cancer (benign) or thyroid cancer
・Fluid-filled (cysts) or made up of thyroid gland cells
・One nodule or a group of small nodules
Thyroid nodules are more common in women than in men.
A person's chance of getting a thyroid nodule increases with age.
