The composition of the nodule - case 653

Clinical data: A 58-year-old woman requested a second opinion. She was known to harbor a multinodular goiter for decades. The goiter slowly increased in size and already caused neck complaints in supine position. She wished to undergo on sclerotherapy instead of surgery.

Palpation: The left lobe was enlarged and contained a larger elastic nodule in the upper while a hard, smaller lesion in the lower part.

Laboratory data: euthyroidism (TSH 1.05 mIU/L).
