Clinical data: A 28-year-old woman came to a follow-up examination. The TSH was regularly checked and remained within the normal range in the past 6 years on daily 50 microgram levothyroxine. The thyroid had no discrete lesions, however six months ago at the least visit, hypoechoic areas appeared in the left lobe. The larger one had blurred borders and was 17 mm in maximal diameter. Cytology resulted in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Palpation: no abnormality.

Laboratory data: TSH 2.97 mIU/L, aTPO 28 U/mL on daily 50 microgram levothyroxine.
