Lumps or bumps in the thyroid gland are called thyroid nodules. Most thyroid nodules are benign, but about 2 or 3 in 20 are cancerous. Sometimes these nodules make too much thyroid hormone and cause hyperthyroidism. Nodules that produce too much thyroid hormone are almost always benign.
ICD-10 code E04. 1 for Nontoxic single thyroid nodule is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Thyroid nodules are classified to ICD-9-CM code 241.0, Nontoxic uninodular goiter. If a nodule is with hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis, assign code 242.1x.
ICD-10 code D34 for Benign neoplasm of thyroid gland is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Neoplasms .
E04. 1 - Nontoxic single thyroid nodule | ICD-10-CM.
A goiter (GOI-tur) is the irregular growth of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck just below the Adam's apple.
A multinodular goiter is an enlarged thyroid caused by multiple thyroid nodules. Multinodular goiters can be either toxic (makes too much thyroid hormone and causes hyperthyroidism) or non-toxic (does not make too much thyroid hormone).

The word follicular means the cells look like a group of small circles under a microscope. If the follicular cells are contained within the nodule, the condition is called benign. If the cells have invaded the surrounding tissue, the diagnosis is cancer. Thyroid cysts are nodules filled with fluid.
The thyroid is located at the front of the lower part of the neck. The gland is shaped like a butterfly, with "wings," or lobes, located on each side of the windpipe. These lobes are joined by a bridge of tissue known as the isthmus, which spans across the windpipe.
Nontoxic goiter is thyroid gland enlargement with no disturbance in the thyroid function. It is not due to inflammation or neoplasia. The goiter may be diffuse or a localized growth. If the goiter is large, it may extend into the retrosternal space.

Small thyroid nodules (<1.0 cm), incidentally noted on imaging studies for other problems, with benign features on ultrasound, may initially be observed with a follow up ultrasound in 4-6 months. If these nodules enlarge then the patient should be referred for subspecialty evaluation.
Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy on a single, left thyroid nodule CPT Code 10005 – RT.Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy on a left thyroid nodule and a right thyroid nodule: CPT Code 10005- RT; CPT Code +10006-LT.
EU-TI-RADS 5 involves nodules presenting at least 1 of the following high-risk signs: non-oval shape, irregular margins, microcalcifications, marked hypoechogenicity; the malignancy rate is 26–87% and nodules must be submitted to FNA when >1 cm.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm affecting the thyroid gland.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
