Thyroid Pathology

Thyroid Pathology — Internal Medicine

How it begins

La glándula tiroides es el órgano endocrino de mayor tamaño y el único capaz de almacenar su producto secretor en grandes cantidades. Pesa entre 15 y 25 g en el adulto, está constituida por dos lóbulos laterales unidos por un istmo y, en el 30–40% de los individuos, presenta un lóbulo piramidal ascendente (lóbulo de Lalouette), resto del conducto tirogloso. Su aporte sanguíneo es extraordinariamente rico: recibe…
