Previous picture Back to Case Next picture

Right lobe, longitudinal scan

Right lobe, another transverse scan. The lesion in the central part of the lobe might be a true nodule, it presents echogenic figures caused by posterior enhancement. The deeply hypoechogenic, largest area is very likely not a nodule in pathological sense but a more active focus of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
