Thyroid Swellings

What Are Thyroid Swellings?

A thyroid swelling refers to any abnormal enlargement in the thyroid gland, which sits at the front of the neck. This may include goiters, nodules, or even thyroid cancer in rare cases. While many thyroid lumps are benign, they should always be properly evaluated.

At Jayaram Hospital, Karimnagar, we offer accurate diagnosis and ethical surgical treatment for thyroid conditions—ensuring patient safety and peace of mind.
