AB Disorders  of  the  thyroid  gland  result  primarily  from  autoimmune  processes  that  stimulate  the  overproduction  of  thyroid  hormones  (thyrotoxicosis)  or  cause  glandular  destruction  and  underproduction  of  thyroid  hormones  (hypothyroidism).  Neoplastic  processes  in  the  thyroid  gland  can  lead  to  benign  nodules  or  thyroid  cancer.
