The borders of the nodule - case 1496
Clinical data: A 22-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a thyroid nodule detected on evaluation of amenorrhoea. One of the lesions located in the dorsal part of the right lobe was described as a "highly suspicious", microlobulated, TIRADS 5 category nodule. The patient was examined because of suspected thyroid enlargement at the age of 14 when I found numerous hypoechogenic areas within an echonormal background.
Palpation: Both lobes were a bit firm. No nodules could be palpated.
Laboratory data: TSH 2.07 mIU/L, aTPO 394 U/mL.
