Operated thyroid - case 1524

Clinical data: A 66-year-old man underwent bilateral thyroid surgery eleven years ago. According to the final report, total thyroidectomy was performed. Histopathology disclosed benign hyperplastic nodules. Six years later, a granulation around surgical thread was diagnosed and surgery ws advised. This time, the patient came to a follow-up. He told us that he decided not to visit the surgeon because the mass did not cause any complaints. He didn't remember exactly, but a few years ago he couldn't feel the knot at all, it had slowly disappeared on its own over the years.

Palpation: no abnormality.

Laboratory data: TSH 3.56 mIU/L on daily 75 microgram levothyroxine.
