The composition of the nodule - case 2179

Clinical data: A 73-year-old woman came to a follow-up examination. She has been treated for autonomously functioning adenoma with ethanol sclerotherapy for 16 years. The adenoma was located in the upper pole of the left lobe and its dimensions were 18x15x25 mm (width, depth and length, respectively) before the sclerotherapy. The clinical hyperthyroidism had been resolved and the thyrostatic therapy had been discontinued just after the sclerotherapy. In the upcoming 10 years she remained euthyroid. The recent examination was initiated because of ventricular tachycardia.

Palpation: Both lobes had not firm nodules.

Laboratory data: TSH 1.87 mIU/L, FT4 12.3 pM/L.
