Abstract
Thyroid disease can present with overt symptoms, insidiously, or with isolated thyromegaly. Thyroid disease in children can encompass isolated biochemical abnormalities that have little or no physiologic consequence or with overt clinical symptoms. Clinically, hypothyroidism occurs more commonly than hyperthyroidism. Thyroid nodules and masses occur much less commonly than functional disorders but can portend the presence of thyroid cancer. This chapter focuses on the most common conditions that affect the thyroid gland of children and adolescents.
