A thyroid adenoma is a noncancerous tumour of the thyroid gland. Most cause no symptoms and are found unexpectedly. Some may produce excess thyroid hormone. An MRI may show a distinct mass in the thyroid consistent with an adenoma. Finding a thyroid adenoma allows for monitoring and assessment of thyroid function to ensure it is not affecting hormone levels. Ultrasound is generally the preferred tool for detailed thyroid assessment, however MRI may show notable thyroid changes.
