Lymphocytic thyroiditis - case 880

Clinical data: A 50-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a nodular goiter. She had typical complaints suggesting hypothyroidism. The TSH was elevated. On ultrasound, multiple nodules were described including "a large, highly suspicious nodule with lobulated margins" in the right lobe.

Palpation: Both lobes were firm. No discrete nodule could be palpated.

Laboratory data: hypothyroidism with TSH 22.5 mIU/L.
