Thyroid Conditions We Treat

Specialists at NYU Langone’s Thyroid Program treat all types of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancers, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism.

Thyroid Nodules

We treat a full range of benign (noncancerous) thyroid nodules, including:

benign nodules that press on surrounding structures, causing symptoms, or are cosmetically unappealing
fluid-filled nodules, also known as cysts
goiter of all types, including toxic nodular goiter, which may cause hyperthyroidism, and substernal thyroid goiter, which presses into the chest
thyroglossal masses and other ectopic thyroid tissue
toxic autonomous nodule

These are some of the many kinds of thyroid cancers we manage:

papillary carcinoma
unusual papillary thyroid cancers, including variants such as tall cell, insular, hobnail
follicular carcinoma
medullary thyroid carcinoma
oncocytic (Hürthle cell) cancer
cribiform morular thyroid cancer
lymphoma that appears in the thyroid
poorly differentiated and anaplastic carcinoma, two of the most aggressive forms of thyroid cancer

We create treatment plans for all types of hyperthyroidism, including the following:

Graves’ disease
thyroiditis, which is transient hyperthyroidism due to sudden inflammation or disruption of the thyroid
amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism
pregnancy-related hyperthyroidism
toxic autonomous thyroid nodules
thyroid-stimulating hormone secreting pituitary tumors

Our doctors see patients who have the following types of hypothyroidism:
