Thyroid Conditions We Treat

At the Children’s Thyroid Center, our team works together with your child and your family to treat a range of conditions affecting the thyroid.

What are the most common thyroid conditions?

Most of our patients have thyroid conditions that fall into three categories.

The first, hyperthyroidism, is when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. The second, hypothyroidism, is when the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone. The third is when growths occur on the thyroid, either cancerous or noncancerous.

What are the underlying conditions that cause these issues with the thyroid?

 The most common thyroid conditions include:

• Thyroid nodules, masses and cancers 
  • Differentiated thyroid cancer
    • Papillary thyroid cancer
    • Follicular thyroid cancer
