Subacute thyroiditis - case 855 - part 1

Clinical data: A 29-year-old woman requested a second opinion. She was in the 11th week of her pregnancy. She had mild neck discomfort for 2 months. A suspicious nodule was found in the left lobe on the evaluation. Aspiration cytology was repeatedly non-diagnostic. She was told that she had thyroid carcinoma with great probability. Her endocrinologist recommended to abort the child and then to undergo thyroidectomy.

Palpation: The left thyroid was hard on palpation, but not painful.

Laboratory data: TSH 0.03 mIU/L, FT4 23.6 pM/L, ESR 49 mM/H.
