Abstract:
The lack of TSH secretion due to hypopituitarism does not influence thyroid nodules volume and their respective progressive growth. Otherwise growth of normal thyroid tissue is under the control of TSH; when the latter is undetectable thyroid volume appears to be reduced compared to controlsonly if thyroid nodules are absent.
