  高Functional thyroid adenoma (autonomous hyperfunctioning adenoma), also known as toxic adenoma (toxic adenoma) adenoma), or spontaneous hyperthyroidism, refers to a type of disease caused by single or multiple high-function adenoma in the thyroid gland caused by hyperthyroidism symptoms.

  The disease progresses slowly, more often than at the time of medical treatment or others found, more common in women over 40 years old, asymptomatic when the tumor is small, and typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism when the tumor is large. This disease was thought to be rare in the past in China. Since the application of thyroid imaging technology, the number of cases found has gradually increased. Because thyroid radionuclide imaging is a "hot nodule" (131I concentration at the nodule) at the adenoma or nodule, and this nodule is not regulated by TSH, it is called an autonomous high-function thyroid adenoma .

  Highly functional thyroid adenoma is a very complex disease. There are many reasons for this disease, and it is generally considered to be the result of the interaction of multiple factors, the most important of which is genetics Factors, it is generally believed that people with a family history of autonomous high-function thyroid adenoma have a much higher probability of having this disease than the general population.
