The echogenicity of the nodule - case 1799
Clinical data: A 55-year-old woman was referred for follow-up investigation. The patient was first diagnosed having hypothyroidism and nodular goiter five years ago. Aspiration cytology resulted in Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The lesion in the left lobe increased in size, therefore a repeat FNAC was suggested.
Palpation: Both lobes were firm. No nodule could be palpated.
Laboratory data: euthyroidism on daily 75 microgram levothyroxine (TSH 1.72 mIU/L).
