Diagnosis of thyroid adenoma. How will your first days in Israel be organized?
Follicular adenomas are benign tumors of the thyroid gland, accounting for about 15-20% of other benign formations of the thyroid. The disease is more common in younger individuals. The danger lies in the fact that adenoma can coexist with malignant tumors (and thyroid cancer can be mistakenly taken for adenoma), therefore patients with thyroid adenoma require in-depth diagnostics and subsequent medical monitoring.
First Day
Upon arrival at the Top Ichilov clinic, the patient undergoes a consultation with a leading endocrinologist. The specialist will analyze the medical history, review the results of previous examinations that the patient had done at our clinic or in their home country. After examining the patient, the endocrinologist will issue a referral for additional diagnostics if necessary, or establish a final diagnosis based on which a treatment program will be developed.

Second Day
On the second day, the patient undergoes diagnostic procedures. In the treatment of thyroid adenoma in Israel, at the Top Ichilov clinic, the following methods of accurate early diagnosis are used:
- Physical examination. During this examination, a thyroid nodule is identified in the patient, which has a round shape, a smooth and even surface, clear contours, and the consistency of the nodule is elastic or firm-elastic. The nodule shifts during swallowing.
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy (guided by ultrasound), performed to differentiate cystadenoma from a cyst. After the removal of fluid, in the presence of cystadenoma, a nodular formation is observed.
- Ultrasound. This study allows visualization of a round-shaped nodule, with a rim around it, indicating the presence of a well-defined tumor capsule.
- Radionuclide scanning shows the presence of a "cold" nodule, with unchanged levels of T3, T4, and TSH.
The most important significance in the diagnosis of adenoma is the study of ultrasound and biopsy with subsequent cytological examination. The diagnostic program regarding follicular adenomas of the thyroid at the Top Ichilov clinic will be conducted in optimal timeframes and with maximum accuracy of results.
