Consecutive patients with the final diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis - case 61 (840) (ultrasonographic picture 6)

Left lobe, longitudinal scan. We cannot find echogenic lines, only granules. On the other hand, the video revealed that the lesion had bright echogenic lines, too. Therefore, these intranodular figures are not punctate echogenic foci (microcalcifications) but presentations of connective tissue. The discrete hypoechogenic lesion is probably not a nodule in pathological sense.
