Thyroid cancer:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The primary signs of thyroid cancer are a painless nodule, a hard nodule in an enlarged thyroid gland, or palpable lymph nodes with thyroid enlargement. Eventually, the pressure of such a nodule or enlargement causes hoarseness, dysphagia, dyspnea, and pain on palpation. If the tumor is large enough to destroy the gland, hypothyroidism follows, with its typical symptoms of low metabolism (mental apathy and sensitivity to cold). However, if the tumor stimulates excess thyroid hormone production, it induces symptoms of hyperthyroidism (sensitivity to heat, restlessness, and hyperactivity). Other clinical features include diarrhea, anorexia, irritability, vocal cord paralysis, and symptoms of distant metastasis.

Thyroiditis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Autoimmune thyroiditis is usually asymptomatic and commonly occurs in females, with peak incidence in middle age. It’s the most prevalent cause of spontaneous hypothyroidism.
In subacute granulomatous thyroiditis, moderate thyroid enlargement may follow an upper respiratory tract infection or a sore throat. The thyroid may be painful and tender, and dysphagia may occur.
In Riedel’s thyroiditis, the gland enlarges slowly as it’s replaced by hard, fibrous tissues. This fibrosis may compress the trachea or the esophagus. The thyroid feels firm.
Clinical effects of miscellaneous thyroiditis are characteristic of pyogenic infection: fever, pain, tenderness, and reddened skin over the gland.

Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
The characteristic symptom of CFIDS is prolonged, often overwhelming fatigue that’s commonly associated with a varying complex of other symptoms. To aid identification of the disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses a “working case definition” to group symptoms and severity. (See CDC criteria for diagnosing CFIDS.)

Other clinical features include diarrhea, anorexia, irritability, vocal cord paralysis, and symptoms of distant metastasis.
