TIRADS - case 1768

Clinical data: A 24-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of an elevated TSH and a multinodular goiter detected on evaluation of weight gain. We met the patient 8 years ago, when the examination resulted in euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis based on a 60% echogenicity index despite a normal aTPO level (10 U/mL). At that time, we did not find any nodules in pathological sense.

Palpation: Both lobes were moderately firm.

Laboratory data: TSH 5.26 mIU/L, FT4 12.7 pM/L, aTPO 7 U/mL.
