Lymphocytic thyroiditis - case 1365

Clinical data: A 41-year-old woman requested a second opinion. She was examined because of hypothyroidism and a newly discovered nodule in another outpatient department three months ago. Aspiration cytology resulted in atypia of an unknown significance. The diagnosis made the patient very anxious. The patient had great fear both from harboring thyroid carcinoma and from the surgical procedure, too. She has already got anti-depressants before visiting us.

Palpation: no abnormality.

Laboratory data: euthyroidism on daily 37.5 microgram levothyroxine.
