Halo sign and vascularization - case 1646

Clinical data: A 45-year-old woman requested a second opinion. She was evaluated in another hospital where hypothyroidism was diagnosed on clinical complaints. Ultrasonography described a "suspicious nodule" in the upper pole of the left thyroid from which cytology resulted in suspicion of follicular carcinoma and a total thyroidectomy was indicated.

Palpation: The thyroid was not palpable.

Laboratory data: hypothyroidism with TSH 23.7 mIU/L.
